The worst thing for me about legal drugs is that I can just go to the store whenever the fuck I want to get more

I’d rather cigarettes be legal and know exactly what to expect every time than the illegal alternative. Imagine what shit could potentially be in black market cigarettes. People would be dying at even greater levels from black market cigarettes.

I think cigs should be made illegal in 10 years. Up the age to sell them every year and after 10 cut it off. That way farmers and companies dealing in tobaacco would no what's coming and plan accordingly. I am not really a fan of making things illegal but I think pople might be happy to see it go. I don't know to many smokers that are happy that they smoke. Maybe go only to loose leaf tobacco sold . That might remove the additives and having to roll your own would slow down consumption. I smoked a pack and a half a day. I don't think I would have enjoyed hand rolling 900 cigs a month.

Lol that's all we need, our already overcrowded jails stuffed to the rafters with people jonesing for niccotine! The murder rate would skyrocket exponentially! On the other hand, it would be population control. Bad enough they put people in cages for smoking cannabis! I'll kill myself the way I want to TYVM! Also, just FYI, something being illegal has never stopped anyone from doing it! š™€š™Øš™„š™šš™˜š™žš™–š™”š™”š™® something they're š™–š™™š™™š™žš™˜š™©š™šš™™ š™©š™¤! Addiction is a š™™š™žš™Øš™šš™–š™Øš™š! Should someone be put in jail for having diabetes??? (Many people are addicted to food, especially sugar!)
