From smoking to bananas (6)

OK, let's ban smoking because it's unhealthy. Let's do more and imagine some things happening:

1. cigarettes vanish the next femtosecond... no more cigarettes. No more smokers. Cleaner air in public places. No more black lungs.

2. all the cars vanish as well... no more cars/vehicles to pollute the air. Cleaner air in cities. No more smog induced by cars.

3. alcohol vanishes as well... no more alcoholic drinks. No more drunkards. No more liver cirosis. No more vomiting at street corners.

A lot of no more's, and everybody's happy ever after.

Nice picture, isn't it?

Now picture this:

1' No more cigarettes sold, no more taxes on cigarettes, a lot less income for the state/crown

2' No more fuel sold, no more taxes on cigarettes, a lot less income for the state/crown

3' No more alcohol sold, no more taxes on cigarettes, a lot less income for the state/crown

3 times "a lot less" = "quite a lot less" and this has to be generated by something to compensate the loss. To come where from?

Let's see... what sells very good and is vital to people? Water, food... What next? Clothes. Next? Bycicles, as there are no more cars.

Further... electricity needs to be produced and it's price will go sky high

Nice picture, isn't it?
