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.
