How is encouraging people to stop smoking by raising taxes supposed to raise money for health care?

Question by martinlh: How is encouraging people to stop smoking by raising taxes supposed to raise money for health care?
Lets think this through. Raising taxes is supposed to do two things:

1) Get people to stop smoking.
2) Raise money for health care.

If #1 is successful, what happens to the health care funding?
Remember the funding often goes to unrelated issues like child health care, not always to smoke prevention.
