quick post haven't read everything will in the morning (to many drinks and smokes...)
congrat kalmsg keep going
i just have one question to the non smokers and gov?
what happens if everyone stops smoking?
this is a back of an envelope estimate
Average packet of cigarettes $10 - 13
grower makes - 20c
tabacco company 1.00
retail story- Depends on there park up - My fav supplier 11.00 (cheap) 7-11 $14.95 ( what they sell it for) - they take
So lets use the price $11.00 a packet
Can't find the rate for tax ( google not working correctly) but lets guess about $5-6 a packet tax
most smoker smoke a packet a day - lets say
$5 tax on the packet
if they know 5 other smokers it would be $25 a day tax
lets say we have 50 000 smoker all giving the gov $5 a day
every day of the year
this would mean the following is taxes
$250 000 a day taxes
$750 000 a month Taxes
$90,000,000 a year in taxes
The gov can't afford people to quit smoking...
