In 2004, the total tax take from tobacco (smoothed) was £8.1 billion.from the ASH Media Briefing on the budget and smoking tax 20/03/2006
"The Treasury earned £8,000 million in revenue from tobacco duties for the financial year 2005-2006 (excluding VAT).
"About 80% of the price of a packet of cigarettes consists of taxation."
Smoking costs the National Health Service (NHS) approximately £1.5 billion a year for treating diseases caused by smoking."
from tha ASH tobacco economics fact sheet Feb 2007

I'm not interested in the math really as something will be wrongAll I was doing was corroborating that Tax revenue in this country is always around £8Bn a year these days.
I'm not quoting you statisticts I'm quoting you facts that are published by ASH ( the anti smoking people ) who state on their pages that their source for the information is H.M. Treasury.
Sorry if your maths don't add up but it does not alter the facts about tobacco tax revenue.

ok...8.8 billion / 70 billion=
8.8/70
=0.125 pounds-of-tax-per-fag
or 12 and a half p.
