on the other hand, I think the tobacco companies are taking the mickey - they profiteer and they have hidden the harmful side effects of smoking for many years and for that they should be sued into oblivion. It's one thing to smoke in the knowledge that it's harmful, but another to suffer effects that known to be likely to occur but which were kept hidden from you.

On my... er... third hand... I think successive governments have been highly hypocritical about the tax raised from smoking. I believe the tax from smoking should be set aside to pay for the health care of people who choose to smoke - 'You smoke, you pay for what your healthcare will cost the state'. That seems fair to me. But the money is used to subsidise other things, such as roads or education or whatever - it's money that is freely available to the government to spend. If everyone stopped smoking, the gov would have to implement additional taxes to cover the shortfall. Something about that stinks, and not of tobacco!
