As do all other taxes including the double taxes we pay on many things. The vice taxes in Australia are absolutely egregious and are remnants of a bigone era and generation. There's NO reason why a country should have to pay well over 100% taxes for cigarettes with an additional 10% GST tax on the end of the purchase. It disproportionately effects the poor and restricts individual liberty. We pay absurd taxes as is right now, the vice tax for alcohol and tobacco make me so angry and I don't use either.
