Some figures about how much tobacco taxes are worth

Hypothesis: Not enough to be a factor in tobacco policy

(We are long tobacco stocks)

cc $PM $MO $BATS $BTI $IMB

UK Tobacco Duties were £9.38bn in FY22/23

This was 0.8% of all tax receipts
It had fallen before, e.g. FY11/12 to FY16/17

There is also VAT, applied after Tobacco Duty, but £ not spent on cigarettes would be spent elsewhere with VAT

Tax is likely not a factor in Tobacco policy https://t.co/e56ySSWjsm
