Interesting.... a couple of things. Cigarettes are legal for those of the /right/ age, but I don't understand why anyone would seriously take up smoking today with what is known health wise and the cost of the habit financially. I've witnessed people buying food at supermarkets, they have a decline on their account -- they opt for Coke and cigarettes over the good food they had in their shop... Coke is relatively very expensive as a drink, even as a soft drink, so too are cigarettes as a /legal/ vice; neither option should have been purchased in such a situation -- but obviously addiction and habit come into play :( My view on drugs is that there should be a prohibition, but only to lessen the mantra that already exists about /recreational/ drugs and their acceptance. IMHO, no drugs like that should be acceptable, at all. Although ending prohibition /may/ improve safety for those that *must* use ... hoping that it won't lead to more users as a consequence though. Cheers A.
