Predominantly middle class pursuits....whereas smoking is a paupers habit these days

Maybe that's why..



Mind you I think smoking kills more people than scubadiving, mountain climbing, base jumping combined...

Wow!

That's around £22 for 20 ciggies...

Sin tax or reasonable policy..?

Should such increases be applied in the UK and beyond and should enormous tax increases also apply to booze and unhealthy food to force people into better health?

Is it a basic right to be unhealthy, even if the public has to pay for your medical treatment?

Would huge tax hikes simply help the black market get a foothold?
