20. No. Prohibition is stupid. It would make more people smoke.
And the cigarettes would be even more dangerous than they are now since you would hand criminals a monopoly on their manufacture.
This fucking puritan tendency on the US government has to stop. It doesn't achieve its aims and makes the situation far worse. What's more, the bastards have foisted their fucked-up drug policies on the rest of the world. Heroin was legal in the UK until 1971, when it was criminalised at the urging of the US government. Before then heroin addicts numbered in the hundreds nationwide. Now there are tens of thousands.
