What is really funny is many of the people here that would bemoan the high tax on the cigs are the same people who are very anti war on drugs and support that with the idea that they should be legally sold and regulated and taxed thus making them profitable?
It is a mistake and possibly simply misleading to think that the motivation for most people who are anti war on drugs is tax and revenue. It is only used as a talking point.
ETA: Rather than saying talking point, it is just one of many arguments. I doubt that it is prime motivation for many.

well said and I completely agree.
Most I personally know who are strongly against the war on drugs simply want to continue to partake.
