Meh, everyone knows the NHS is primarily funded by smokers. In the UK, when taxes on cigarettes go up it is a clear indication that the NHS has had costs rise in some way. In fact, I reckon if you could plot the income on cigarette tax and NHS outgoings they would match up pretty well.

I just find it a bit funny, that's all.

 

Are you joking? Tobacco duty brings in the Gov't £7.8bn a year, health costs the Gov't £94bn a year.

Really? Oh okay, I'm mistaken then. Sorry.

I have defo heard before though that all the taxes from cigarettes go into the NHS.
