£16 fags…

[chaincey.ncfc]

Never been a smoker myself but if that’s what people want to do then why shouldn’t they do is my thought on the matter,so with the budget being next Wednesday it looks like the chancellor is going to hit fag smokers with yer another tax hike which will take the price to around £16 or 20 which is basically a quid a fag,are smokers an easy target and forceing them to seek illegally imported cigs from smugglers as I know that I would if I smoked,why doesn’t the government just drop the tax on cigs to a reasonable rate therefore stopping the smuggling market,there would also be a huge upturn in the amount sold in newsagents etc therefore getting more tax back for the government,the uk tax on must be the highest in the world,where do I apply for the chancellor’s job?
