Yes they do, but here in the UK along with alcoholics they pretty much pay for our health care, which is the only reason these two drugs are legal in the UK.

Fallon, it was not my intention to step on anybody's feet. I posted it because the title was "it's ironic". That was also the spirit my post was written in. Okay, it's rather cynical than ironic...

Do you want me to edit it?

The link doesn't work. (at least not when I clicked on it)

I dunno, I guess they do if you consider the immense medical bills the government pays for every year on behalf of the smokers that suffer and die from "enjoying" themselves.

But then when you think about it, smokers probably spend about as much on the taxes to buy a pack of cigarettes a day in a year to cancel it out lol.
