[QUOTE="Alberta farmer, post: 674555, member: 8978"] In Alberta a carton of regular cigarettes is about $92. The guy in front of me at the gas station pay register bought a package of smokes for $11(25 cigarettes)! It is a sad fact of life that our government gets a huge portion of their income from tobbacco, booze, and gambling revenues. Recently gambling revenues passed royalties on the Alberta tarsands! I often wonder how the Mafia, outlaw motorcycle gangs, and other assorted organized crime groups are supposed to compete with the government for the proceeds of human vice? If the government ever takes over the illegal drug trade the gangsters might have to go legit and get a government job! [/QUOTE]
