We never see anyone in a tobacco induced rage where that stab someone to death.
There are many more things that a govt could get tough about before they hit cigarettes.
It is a bit like biting the hand that feeds them but I think we will see this more and more where the new regime will respond to any cause except the real problems.

No but they cost our hospitals and us a fortune with health issues
Ivan a reformed smoker not having had a puff since 1982.
Yes I have had the big C and I have been treated in hospital. Just recently I will add.
When I was in ICU there was a bloke in the next bed who threw his female partner down a flight of stairs in an ICE enraged episode. It was only when he was overpowered by members of the public did he receive an injury to his head that put him in hospital as well as the girl.
Both mine and the perpetrator of violence visit to hospital was not related to tobacco.
I was very concerned as to what this ICE head might do next.
Fortunately they kept him heavily sedated.

Yes this "ice" is a nasty thing and becoming a big problem today as well as other drugs around!
I can't understand the risks people take today popping pills not having any idea on whats in them, huge risks

Like Ian I am a reformed smoker I gave up darts around 1985, but I still defend the right for a person to choose to smoke. Tobacco is a legal product yet it is the heighest taxed and restricted product.
About 20 years ago the combined Taxes, Excise and licence fees collected were greater than the entire health budget for the nation. One could say the smokers were paying for everyone health.
Smoking is not the cause of every cancer but it is blamed for it
