If it was really all about making money from the taxes the governments in Europe would not be banning smoking obviously!

I would appreciate it if people actually looked at what I wrote initially. I didn't say it was PURELY for money. I said they were trying to impress the PC committee because not only does it keep their mouths shut, it gives the government extra bonuses as well. It's a two way deal. Trust me, if the government didn't get anything out of it they wouldn't ban it. Read up no the local politics this week about macmillian and you'll understand what I'm talking about.
