as compensation for banning tobacco. The savings in health costs alone would pay for this


The savings wouldn't come until after all of us smokers were free from the addiction which could take a long time. Also the murder rate would rise dramatically and so would incidents of road rage and other acts of violence. Work production would drop sharply and hurt the economy and all of the revenue from the high taxes that we pay on them would disappear.

And while they're at it, they might as well ban alcohol completely which also causes quite a few health problems and costs the country money. That would go over very well I'm sure.
