Oh.
Well then here's a good solution - outlaw the sale and distribution of cigarettes, but don't outlaw smoking them. My reasoning is this - smokers craving a fix will be left with the following options: A) grow their own tobacco and smoke that B) black market C) quit smoking
Wheres the big benefit in this? Well, smoking natural tobacco isn't necessarily dangerous. The carcinogens and negative health effects stem from the additives put into cigarettes by corporations to improve flavor, to cultivate dependency via chemical addiction, to allow for specific burn times and a whole bunch of other related reasons. If we remove that factor, and place the ban on big money, there will be an instantly sharp decline in total users with more people gradually phasing out until what's left are the people who would otherwise go to great lengths to fulfill this urge anyway. That's a win for the general population, no penalty for those that want to continue with it, and it fucks over the nasty companies that take advantage of the human psyche (the same companies that low key market to children, thus starting the addiction at an early age where we are far far more impressionable and likely to develop our lifelong habits)
