Yeah, you're more or less spot on. I recognise that smoking is harmful to those around you, obesity on the other hand is not. I just think that if we are taxing unhealthy habits then junk food should be on the list.
If smoking wasn't something most people do because they're pressured into it by other smokers... and if smoke didn't travel and poison the atmosphere and other people who don't even wish to smoke... then it should totally not be taxed.
