Anyway, charging people more for unhealthy stuff is a tried and tested way to discourage them from doing it. That's why they tax the fuck out of cigarettes, in part to stop people smoking. If you have to pay more for monster sized clothes, maybe you'll think about getting some excersize.

This would be true only if people weren't addicted to stuff like cigarettes and alchohol. Cigarettes and alchohol are tremendously expensive to make and buy. The suppliers are being taxed by the government to produce cigarettes and in order to offset this cost, the supplier raises the price of cigarettes. Because people are ADDICTED to tobacco, they will pay the higher price no matter what.
Normally when price goes up supply and demand goes down, but for products like cigarettes and alchohol, this does not apply and the big companies win.
Jam it back in, in the dark.
