Tobacco is the New Marijuana

I've mentioned before the irony of so many who support decriminalization of marijuana often being the same ones supporting higher tobacco taxes and anti- smoking rules to the point of defacto prohibition. Reason's J.D. Tuccille doesn't exactly go there but takes a look at how anti- smoking efforts are moving tobacco towards the same status of marijuana of the past- the black market and growing your own.

Never mind the newly begun war on vaping and e- cigarettes. Vaping, which by nearly all accounts has helped people reduce their smoking or quit altogether. The wars on....whatever... seem to take on a life of their own no matter what they're about.

You would figure that someone who whines so much about how much things cost wouldn't smoke cigs. Talk about a total ripoff..

It's the reason they propagandize for prohibition in the first place. Never forget the alcohol prohibition & how the Govt became the number one monopoly . http://priceofliberty.tumblr.com/post/118135878643/government-run-liquor-stores-claim-the-free-market
