Actually...I think they already have that tax. You should see the taxes that are built into a pack of cigarettes. I did a paper on this several years back, and as I recall around 65% of the total cost of a pack is tax. It's something that most people don't really care about because it does not affect them. Sooner or later though, as more and more people quit smoking and lost revenue is realized, the government will vilify and tax something else. I predict caffeine and coffee. I love coffee. I think I'll go have a cup now, before it's taxed.
