    Like 25$ a pack.
    so we create a back market on tax free cancer sticks?
    Plan for the worst, hope for the best

    Ahhh but alcohol is fun, cigs (fags for brat) are not, and weed is.

    Notice that weed is illegal yet probably everyone here could get some if they wanted it.

    I personally would love to see it banned but grandfather it for those who are already smokers.

    It will slowly fade to being a niche product.

    As I said, cigs (again fags, brats) are not fun.

    meh!

    smoking is stupid, I don't understand why the tobacco companies don't find a more efficient and environmentally-friendly way to get people to ingest their tobacco.

    Same with dope.

    Some interesting views here....and i think that most of you are right. Money made on cigarettes are really high and it could impact the economy and stuff and taxes made on them. But a good idea is the $25 per pack thing. Although it would not work out the way you expect. I went abroad once to bangladesh and i noticed most if not all of the villagers or town folks could not afford to pay per pack so they bought seperates. I think that no matter what is done to prevent people from smoking people will always do it. I know that a smoking free planet is never going to happen but a guy can dream eh!!!!

    I don't give a fuck about the rest of the world, but if it could be made law that no-one is allowed to smoke within a half mile radius of where I am at any given time, or where I'm likely to be going subsequent to that, it would be much appreciated.
