It won't affect or bother me personally as I don't smoke, but this does
raise an interesting thought in my mind.
On the one hand, the govt are planning to ban the public sale of tobacco
related products.
But on the other hand, they're happy to keep hiking the taxes on them, and
make a small fortune from people who make a free-will choice to polute their
bodies with them.
How exactly can they justify this stance?
