Yup that's what they do.
It's exactly what the USA did with cigarette tax to discourage smoking $5.00 to $7.00 a pack and people still smoke 3 packs a day

Too bad your net value is less than that. Don't you even check the hookers pockets before you get rid of them? :icon25:

= wankers
if they were serious, they'd ban alcohol, but prohibition doesn't work, except when it's drugs, in which case it works perfectly, which is why reclassified cannabis, to save police time, because prohibition doesn't work, erm, or something...

yea, they also ship busloads of people to Denmark and Germany every day to buy cheap alcohol. My parents go to Puttgarden every 6 months to stock up. That's what a state monopoly and sky high taxes will cause people to do.

And the government makes a killing, and noone is the wiser.
And all the non-smokers who demonize smokers will vote for them again, for cleaning up the 'dirty people.'
