JFKvsNixon Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 if everyone gave up smoking tomorrow the goverment would be stuffed. Actually we'd all be stuffed as we use the services that the government provides with that tax income. However, I don't believe that your scenario would run as you predict, as the government wold just raise the tax in another way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
