It's kind of ironic that the GST cut is a perverse incentive to smoke, and I don't disagree with you at all.
You do make a point in your paper that there have been some cuts to the advertising. We've had a social revolution in this country. Smoking has gone from being a cool thing to being a socially disreputable thing. Yet you can slip back the other way quite easily.
I agree with your point. What could possibly be the rationale to cut back on advertising?
