Did you get that figure wrong?

'Million if not billions'? In 2009/10 alcohol tax raised £14.6 BILLION, tobacco tax raised £11.1 BILLION in 2010/11. The country makes an overall profit out of it's drinkers/smokers, unlike the illegal drug takers.

Anyone going in hospital with alcohol/tobacco problems should get a private room and a personal care team!
