The Canadian government is addicted to tobacco taxes to run their socialist programs - what will fill this huge void?

The Canadian Left wants tobacco to go the way of hard drugs. Welcome to Canada's WOT.

"Smoke-Free Canada (PSC) today called on the government to... buying tobacco companies outright and seeing that they are run in the public interest to phase out tobacco completely by 2030.
Well, if there's one thing a government takeover of a private business CERTAINLY can do is RUN IT INTO THE GROUND!!

""This announced plant closure is not good news," Collishaw added. "What Canada needs is an orderly made-in-Canada phase out of tobacco growing and cigarette manufacturing."
How on earth does this idiot expect the plants to stay open if manufacturing of cigarettes is phased out? Socialism is a mental disorder!

If I'm not mistaken, Canada actually had to reduce their taxes on tobacco some years ago because of the huge black market that developed.
What makes them think that this won't lead to a HUMUNGOUS black market?
