My comment:
What a pathetic little man Osborne is. Has he no original thoughts of his own? He knows damn well that raising the cost of cigarettes will not decrease the amount smoked; rather, it will make the poor, poorer. The rich, of course, can continue to smoke till the smoke comes out of their gills – the price increase simply won't affect them.
Smokers fund much of the NHS, and Osborne knows it. Osborne has no interest in prolonging people's lives. He does have an interest in collecting more taxes, though.
Pathetic man, pathetic budgetary move. – © Mark
