Today's "What Gets My Goat" - NO POLITICS!

[mtread]

I know that's the official line but surely you can't honestly believe that's the governments intention?

Well I know at least one of them to be a fact 
Alcohol and tobacco are a bit different. Taxes that have been around since the 18th century.
However.....
High Strength Beer Duty is designed to stop people wrecking themselves on Special Brew and Tennants Extra.
The Scottish Government's minimum pricing policy is to stop the Scots doing the same on White Lightening, and
The Tobacco Excise Duty Escalator is to make people cut down on smoking.
Otherwise don't you think there would be extra tax on vaping?
