Yeah right. Just like those fierce smokers in Canada did, right? They rose up, hacking and coughing, and stormed the government offices, seizing them until all tobacco taxes were removed... Well, they wanted too, but couldn't afford the bus fare.

The government knows they can tax you as much as they want on cigs, and you will do nothing but bitch and moan about it.

Canada recently voted a conservative govt, for the first time since the 80s. I’d say the average Canadian had about enough of liberal govt.

I can picture a mob of angry smokers wheezing and hacking as they march up the steps of a government building, stoppping to rest at the top, and light up another cigarette before they go in. lol
