Where are the taxes going to come from.?
With regard to the new smoking ban, it was mentioned on tv that over 13billion UKP are raised each year from the taxation on smoking. Currently the bill to the National Health Service due to smoking related diseases is around 1.5 billion UKP, a nice net profit of 11.5 billion.
So where are these lost taxes going to come from?

Hopefully from the dic.khead anti smokers who got this ban passed in the first place.
Teach em a bloody lesson!!!
And yes I know its gonna come out of mine too, but at least I can legitimately moan about it because I didn't want the stupid ban in the first place..
And I'm an ex smoker before you get on one about it!!!

They'll increase the taxes on pretty much everything they possibly can, petrol will probably be the biggest. They will probably only tax us white British people tho because god forbid if they tax an asian then there will be hell to pay for us.

Tax on patches, potions and hypnotherapy courses to stop smoking I expect.
