    Let’s hope so! My main worry is it pushes things underground where you can’t really track and regulate anything, which has happened in other prohibition policies.

    I think I’d be more up for it if smoking use was trending in the wrong direction but it’s been pretty consistently trending downwards since the 70s. But if it accelerates the decline then that would definitely be a positive.

      it’s harder to smuggle loads of cigarettes because of the size of each bundle.

      perhaps people will smuggle in powdered nicotine and make vape juice for cheap.
