This has been in the works for between 6 months to a year.
It is being driven by the UNs health arm WHO (World Health Organization).
They want an international tobacco tax and the governments that sign on will have specific ways given them to cut tobacco consumption.

Wonderful. What good is a tax when at the same time you're discouraging consumption? Taxation I can understand. What I don't understand is the demonization.
