I think it's a good thing they stopped selling cigs. It just might make the light bulb go off and get someone to quit.

I like your post about cigarettes as to another posters' idea of also banning alcohol in the US it has been tried and was a terrible idea because of societal and cultural trends in the US. Criminals and their lawyers also made billions getting around the alcohol bans during Prohibition. I am sure that the same or similar groups would love another chance at so much money and power.
