The trend is moving toward eventually outlawing tobacco. I don’t see anything in the offing to stop the trend. I’ll continue to enjoy my cigars as long as possible.

It'll be great! Outlaw tobacco! Prohibition on alcohol worked so good that it put the Mafia in business, big-time!

After alcohol was re-legalized, the ban on the other drugs was stepped-up, and has proved to be an outstanding success - for mobsters!

Lessee, a 'speakeasy' was a place where one went to enjoy the pleasures of and consume illegal alcohol. A 'crack-house' today is a place where one can do illegal drugs.

What do we call the place where the 'illegal tobacco' is enjoyed in the future? A 'greenhouse'? .................................... FRegards

So what? They passed a Constitutional Amendment to outlaw the manufacture, sale and consumption of booze and that didn't stop anybody who wanted a drink from getting one, they outlawed weed in 1937 and more people than ever smoke weed today. In fact judging by the people I've met in the ten years I've been in Maine, SheLion is the only person in the state who doesn't smoke weed.
:O)

Tobacco will always be available to those who want it regardless of any laws they make.

Then will come the black market. I don't smoke, but I think I'm gonna start buying tobacco now. Maybe the loose leaf stuff. Let people roll their own. Big bales in a storage unit. :-)

Good, let them ban it. The lies and social engineering the fascists use now are unbearable and anathema to a free country. If it's so horrible just ban it and get it overwith.
