The would have to raise taxes on nonsmokers to makeup for the loss from tobacco.

WRONG! They would simply have to spend less. Government spending isn't a fixed sum. If they don't have $65,000,000 then they can't spend it. If they do have it it will get squandered as fast as they can get their dirty hands on it. They always spend every penny they can get their greedy hands on and a lot more besides. All they have to do is curb their irresponsible squandering of other people's assets.

Good thought. Not gonna happen. There is no such thing as unnecessary spending. There is no shortage of unmet needs. Governments do not shrink, they grow.
