I just wonder what would really happen if all the smokers in the UK actually gave up.
The government have to be seen to be doing something about smoking, but lets be really honest and brutal
If all smokers quit, the government would be in the sh1t as the public would revolt at the new tax laws that the government would have to bring in to replace the taxes lost on smoking - they are already having problems due to the decline in smokers and other tax income such as from the housing market, because they have just increased government borrowing !!!!!
For smokers who are addicted they have no choice but to buy cigarettes which incur a fantastic tax return for the government.
