Sin taxes present governments with an interesting paradox. They discourage people from doing things that ruin their health and cause misery to the people around them.
At the same time, they make governments dependent on the money that comes from bad behavior.
Another way of saying this is that sin taxes often concern themselves with two types of addiction — that of people who drink, smoke or gamble, and that of governments who might end up relying on them for money.
