If so, why are we still encouring manufacture of cigarettes and cultivation of tobacco. Can’t it be completely banned? Who needs to take initiative?
Yes, and cigarettes will never be banned so long as some privileged group can turn a big profit off of them, with government support. Same goes with aspartame, unproven chemotherapy agents, mercury fillings, etc. Its the $$$ factor.

If you smoke a pack a day, the new tax will increase the amount you spend per year on cigarettes by $936. And the state might not even make money on it because how do they know that people won’t buy their cigarettes in Nevada?
I wasn’t thinking I’d go to Nevada every time I need a pack of smokes, I was thinking I’d go there every once in a while and stock up
sin crimes and blue laws are a b*tch ain’t they?
our rights are eroding because we don’t notice how the laws have sneaked around them… you are right to wonder.
