Ha ha ha - the government is going to maximize the take from their addicts.
Cut the nicotine, so they can sell more units - at the same price and the usual ever-increasing taxation levels - PER UNIT!
If they were serious about this, they would just ban the sale of this crap. They could give a d*mn about the millions that will be dying of this filth in the decades to come, just as they don’t really give a d*mn about all the ones who’ve already died from tobacco-related causes.
Just keep squeezing the addicts for the money - they’ll pay it because they have to!
Just like those hypocrites (you?)who don't give a damn about the casualties of alcohol consumption that destroy more lives and families in a year than tobacco products have in the past century.
So where is the real filth, tobacco or alcohol?
