So, if they put the tax there in order to force people to quit, what would they do if most smokers quit? They are already addicted to that tax revenue that is rolling in, I imagine they'd find a new 'sin' to tax.

They can take a cue from one of our state's finest. State sinator VIRG(Trademark from his campaign signs) Bernero (D - Lansing). Good ole VIRG proposed a "pop tax" using the cigarette tax as a precident. It's for our children's health of course.....

Luckily, VIRG's tax hasn't gone anywhere so far.
