Smokers already pay far more in sin taxes than the average persons entire lifetime medical costs, and also smokers cost less than the average person in medical costs because smoking disqualifies them from many procedures and they don't live until they are 90 when they need expensive hip replacements and 30 medications a day.

Medical costs? Okay, how about paying for the smog and stench?

$200 per pack, increasing yearly. That'd probably be about right. You should have quit years ago. If you started smoking anytime in the past 50 or so years, after being taught in taxpayer funded schools not to smoke, then you should receive an additional one-time fee of a hundred thousand dollars, because genuinely fuck you.

So should we also put $200 tax on stinky food? Stinky people? Stink perfumes?

Just because you don't personally like something doesn't justify ever increasing taxes on it.
