In New Zealand we tax tobacco heavily. It is thought that smokers save the government money - they pay a lot of tax and die early. https://www.nzherald.co.nz/n

  This is true for my country as well. Govt taxes cigarettes around 1000%. I'm not kidding, that's a thousand percent tax. Our govt essentially runs on smokers and drinkers tax money.
