Taxes will continue to go up, UNTIL, the point that it actually affects smoking.

Then what will they do without those billions of dollars of revenue rolling in? I have a hunch. Non-smokers will find their taxes raised to make up the loss and that includes the anti-smoking-nazis.

Taxes won't stop, they will just stop rising. They are like any other profits except the govt doesn't have to do a da*n thing to earn it. Charge as much as you can get away with.
