Cigarettes are both amazingly price inelastic and completely uneccessary from a wider PoV. So the current solution of taxing them through the nose is correct. A ban would lose lots of tax revenue.
Wait until they realise how much tax revenue they’ll lose, when cars with engines are banned.
They will just tax electric cars , for charging , using road and any other thing they can make up so they get the same amount of cash.
They are way ahead of you. VED was already announced for electric vehicles by Hunt in the last budget.
