"Actually, the tobacco cos have already lowered their prices and will do so again once they no longer have to fund ALF"
Having quit 20 years ago, I don't follow the prices that much so you could be right, but I dont see that tobacco companies lowering prices out of the goodness of their hearts since they dont have to pay ALF any more... They MAY do it to regain market share as you say, but that is a corporate marketing decision - they don't HAVE to.

You're right. They don't have to.
Another thing. Have you ever noticed that whenever tobacco prices get raised, to include tax increases, that nicotine replacement device prices skyrocket in lockstep with the price of cigs? Big Pharma keeps pushing because it's all pure profit for them.
