MODERATORS
I think they should be banned. They are quite literally cancer sticks.
So what do we do with the people who deal in black markets for them and continue to smoke? What do we do with the illegal sellers and distributors and dealers of tobacco?
Either you give them ineffectual slaps on the wrist and we have a thriving unregulated black market, or you crack down hard and throw them in jail and we have expanded our carceral prison state with more poor addicts and made more criminals and handed a massive market over to the cartels and gangs.
De-addiction centres? (Although personally I don't think smoking should be banned as long as the smoker does not expose others to the poison.)
prohibiting substances does not have a great track record in terms of either effectiveness or collateral damage
