When it comes to pot, alcohol, cigs and gambling, politicians are on the tax train and that’s a stronger addiction than the drugs themselves.
They ain’t gettin’ off that train.
So you might as well plan around that reality.
Surely you’ve noticed that as smoking numbers decline the taxes keep going up to make up the difference in revenue.
If the remaining 16% of the population suddenly quit smoking the panic among politicians would be epic. And alcohol, pot and gambling would get a lot more expensive.
