You would rather have people smoking black market sigarettes that might be even more toxic than the regular kind?I also hate big tobacco but banning sigarettes will just replace a regulated market with a unregulated one.

I'd push for you to have to get a license to buy tobacco products and only issue that license to current users. (Much like a medical MJ license).

Just a small amount of hassle to hopefully prevent new smokers.

Ecigs make your point. Smoking was almost eliminated with millennials, gen z and younger are addicts because of that evil product.
