Those aren't "taxes", they're "user fees"
I only pay them when I purchase the product, or pay my monthly service bill. They're still insignificant compared to income tax, but at least these are ones I can CHOOSE to avoid if I don't buy the products and/or services that are being taxed.
Example: My monthly cigarette tax is $0.00, but my monthly gasoline tax is probably around $40 - $50 (guesstimate).
