I actually agree with most you say except this as government statistics show that there is more money in the pot if folk didn't end up being treated by smoking related diseases than there is if we all smoked and paid the tax on a pack and this is in the UK where the tax on a pack is beyond stupid..
They have realised this and is why they offer free NHS service towards helping folk stop..
