--The excessive costs of sin items can increase smuggling and crime (e.g. PA trying to be more "forceful" with people that went across state lines to buy alcohol during the holidays)
--Government bodies become too dependent on the revenue from such taxes and can't let it go (one of the reasons why the PLCB still exists)
