A truer word ..... I seem to recall, many years ago when I was in UK they put the price of ciggies up "to cover the cost of smokers to the NHS" which incidentally didn't get said revenue & as a result there was a marked decrease in income from Tobacco tax. As people were buying abroad so the money the Government could've had, had they not been so greedy was then filling the coffers of Countries like France & Spain, once again reaffirming the conceit & at the same time stupidity of Politicians.
