A licence to smoke

A government adviser has said that getting smokers to pay £10 for a licence might reduce smoking levels by 70%.

I'd love to hear pro-smoking campaigner Anthony Worral-Thompson's initial reaction to this. "Apopleptic" might describe it aptly.

Would £10 even cover the administration costs of all that paperwork and policing retailers to abide by the licence rules?
