Life would be simpler with a simple approach.
This is my point exactly.

Cigarettes smoking is clearly dangerous to your health. But the government still allows it to be sold. Why? Cause they get a big piece of the pie $$$. That's why they don't ban the sales. But they quickly banned the sales of the vapor cigarettes (e-cigarettes) in convenience stores which is where much of cigarette sales occur.

But wait, let's prey on more human weakness and make money off other addictions

Alcohol
Gambling
Gasoline
Prescription drugs

What's next? Recreational Drugs? Hard drugs?

Pure hypocrisy. Sickening, really.

It would be a crappy month across Canada if the sale of cigarettes / tobacco / tobacco-related products were banned. Lots of irritated people from withdrawl.

Then life would be good. Make it easier to quit for some too. Others, maybe not, lol.
