Yes, I get what you are saying. But, sin taxes are very well known and common.
But, yes, the cigarette thing was just wishful thinking. But, when it comes to the ecology and environmental things that affect the "greater good" I can understand it. As far as "for your own" good, that is certainly not the intention.
Getting people to buy CLFs for example would be for the greater good and for your own good. You really will spend less on them in the long term.
