so-called sin taxes will not produce the expected revenue, as people buy fewer packs

I have noticed that for me since January 2003:

2003 - 2 cartons
2004 - 0 cartons, 0 packs, 0 cigarette taxes
2005 - 0 cartons, 0 packs, 0 cigarette taxes
2006 - 0 cartons, 0 packs, 0 cigarette taxes
2007 - 0 cartons, 0 packs, 0 cigarette taxes
2008 - 0 cartons, 0 packs, 0 cigarette taxes
2009 - 0 cartons, 0 packs, 0 cigarette taxes
2010 - 0 cartons, 0 packs, 0 cigarette taxes
2011 - 0 cartons, 0 packs, 0 cigarette taxes
2012 - 0 cartons, 0 packs, 0 cigarette taxes
2013 - 0 cartons, 0 packs, 0 cigarette taxes to date.

I estimate I have around $3000 per year to spend on other things.
