Cigarette Prices

£110 billion is not the revenue of the nhs, it is the cost. Minor mistake i think you probably meant cost even though you said revenue.

mistakes were made lol.

Don't smoke then...

You're not safe from terminal illness simply because you do not smoke. A third of the population will have some form of cancer during their lives. In the future it will be half the population. Live and let live.

yes you are adam! the non smoking nazi's will live forever now dont you know

as someone has already mentioned, next up will be booze once the income from tobacco starts to drop.

The force is strong.

I am odd. I actually feel sick at thought of smoking, until a drop of beer smacks my tastebuds, then it's puff, puff, puff!

That's very commendable. Keep telling my wife about all the benefits of stopping but she just wont.

Do you self and your wife a massive favour mate and get in the vapers lounge, ask for some proper advice on some decent kit. There really is no need to smoke cigs now as these ecigs are actually a better and more satisfying than real smokes and the switchover is a breeze providing you get some quality kit.

Diesel drivers are just as bad as smokers for contribution to lung cancers

revenue from smoking=£22.56 Billion

The economics of tobacco

The Treasury received £9.5 billion in revenue from tobacco duties in the financial year 2013-2014 (excluding VAT). This amounts to about 2% of total Government revenue. Including VAT, total tobacco revenue is around £12.3bn annually.

Of course they are, and Ive had 3 diesel trucks and diggers outside my apartment for 5 weeks 5 days a week. Pretty sure they have caused more harm to the people around here than my 2nd hand smoke but I cant see the people rising up to get them banned from public places.

Or...just don't smoke at all.

I have noticed a downside to the smoking ban in pubs, they now smell of BO and farts.

Better than going home and having to wash all clothes including coat because of smelling like an ash tray.

Yes washing clothes is boring, but BO and farts ruins a night in the pub for me, ashtrays don't bother me as much, I guess some people prefer BO and fart smells.

You lot must be frequenting some right **** holes!

The economics of tobacco

interesting, their rate of taxation per box claims to be £6.17, so that suggests the possibility that the statistics for the number of cigarettes smoked on average per smoker [i put down 20 as average] or the percentages of smokers/population of the uk is out.

one possibility is if that study is covering just england, compared to the whole of the uk.

either way its too late in the day for me to be bothered figuring it out
