Have you ever heard of America and it’s drug war? There will be no shortage… over fucking tobacco.


Very different situation, much smaller country, island with easy to enforce borders, lower population.

It's a lot easier to control a small island than controlling the US/Mexico border plus all the ports.

Nicotine is incredibly addictive.

If it is that distance, then speedboats are out. It’ll still get there.


But why would they start in the first place?

Why would anyone ever start smoking or drinking or smoking pot or..? Perhaps the human condition, seeing how these have been omnipresent in history…

Nothing I can argue will convince. Time will reveal.

Here in australia all we did was strengthen laws and make smoking more expensive and rates of smoking have dropped sharply.

I was holding my fathers hand when he passed from lung cancer in 2004.

I mean, I wish I never had the opportunity to smoke. The way they are doing it will probably lead to illegal tobacco trade. Imagine a world where a 26 year old can purchase tobacco legally, while their 25 year old buddy cannot, and will never be able to.

All of nothing is the right way to go here, just going to create criminals for something silly like tobacco smuggling or (lol) purchasing a pack of menthols for your 40 year old neighbor.
