Seriously its all about money. You ppl that judge what others do hop on your bandwagons but what if something you do gets taxed like that? How about alcohol? Junk food? Sugar!? Churches. Churches are bad for you and should be taxed. Oh and pharmaceutical drugs. Better tax those. Make sure anyone that uses arthritis medication is penalised with outrageously high prices.

(no i dont smoke)

Did the Coalition oppose the pay rises? By the outrage in your posting I guess they must have. I wonder how Kev and Co pushed it through without bipartisan support?

If anything Rudd's Team Labor accept more money from smokers as they have introduced more taxes on smokers then anyone. Its called creative accounting. They have been taking notes off Swan I think.
