Ten quid a year in 2008. Just how may quid a year in 2018? Almost all of the Leftist abominations with a small fee or tax that is increased later. Then those that must pay find out that they have already conceded the right of the Government to collect the money and now they can only argue about how much money it will be. I am sure that this license fee will go up, drastically, in the years to come if smokers are stupid enough to allow this scheme to start.
It will need to go up. As smokers die off or quit, they will need to replace the revenue that is being lost.
Therefore they will increase fees, which will drive more people to blackmarket or to quit, causing fees to go up to replace lost revenue.
