People much cleverer (read: better paid) than us have already done the maths and smoking is still profitable for the government. What I would like to see is Marijuana legalised and taxed into oblivion.

That would reduce illegal drug trade massively almost instantly and increase tax revenue. At the same time we'd have to get hotter on punishments for drug driving and increase police stop frequency but still. At least all stoned crashes will be at lower speeds than drunk crashes (citation needed)
