  • Tobacco isn't the sort of item that would spur a black market in the face of a ban.

        • So Tobacco is not like alcohol or marijuana?

            See, this is precisely the problem. You've no concept how awful you are.

            The smell is not a little bit. It might be a little bit to you as your nose has acclimatized to it over years of poor decisions, but I assure you, to most other people it is strong, vile, and disgusting -- not to mention poisonous.

                  • It´s written on every pack of cigs (here at least).

                    But acting stupid against better knowledge is what you call an addiction. Which i regard as some kind of sickness. To tell someone who smokes that it´s stupid thus is a bit like telling someone in a wheel-chair, just how cool walking is and how much you are bothered with all those **** done for handicapped persons.

                    • Actually, there already is a black market for cigs here. They come from Vietnam or whatnot and are imported without taxes. If you are a smoker and see an asian guy with a plastic bag on a train station here, chances are, you are in for a good deal.

                        Silly generalisation. I don't smoke or drive. Also the emissions from a modern car are much cleaner than cigarette smoke so that's factually incorrect.



                        I used to smoke, so glad I don't now and that most places are non smoking.

                          Ludicrous. In the UK we've already got 2 black markets for tobacco. 1 for under 18s who can't legally buy their own and 1 for tobacco bought abroad where the taxes are cheaper.

                          It's also incredibly hard to quit.

                          • I'm on the patch right now. I recommend it to anyone who is trying to quit. It really curbs the urges and makes it a lot easier to deal with them.
                            What?

                              Those are byproducts of taxation and restrictions to an otherwise lawful product.

                              You used to smoke. Can you imagine going way out of your way to get black market smokes in the event that they were totally banned and not available anywhere over the counter? I wouldn't.

                              • YES.
                                And I used to smoke also.
                                I have friends that will only smoke CUBAN cigars and buy all their cigars on the black market.
