I hope so. Cigarettes are practically cancer death sticks. Plus they smell nasty and contain over 4,000 man made chemicals including arsenic, rat poison, and tar. Even at the current prices marketers charge for a pack of cigarettes, I still think the prices are still too low. I support legalizing marijuana though, because marijuana is a natural grown plant, but I still wouldn't ever smoke it or use it. I got too much cigarette exposure as a young child from my grandma smoking it (she smoked almost a pack a day.) I used to sit in the living room, breathing in the smoke, unaware of the dangers of it. Wish I knew better then, and/or I wish my Grandma had been more concerned about it.
My view:
Cigarettes- should be illegal
Marijuana- should be legal
As frar as the OP goes I'm surprised there isn't large black market now. I could probably sit at home witha such a machine with some minor modifications a few hours a day and make a six figure profit yearly.
Making cigarettes illegal would create largest black market ever known, more crime, all kinds of problems. I wouldn't be surprised if you don't start to see the same crime problems associated with drugs like heroin in the future as they continue to go up...
The "Drug War" is a lost cause and everyone knows that it is. Now comes a new war that will make millions of ordinary people criminals.
From the story......
"The battle over cigarettes is heating up -- and the momentum to criminalize tobacco smoking continues to build in the United States and around the world. "
Will cigarettes be made illegal in the near future??
Nope to many taxes to the government and the government regulates and allows the chemicals to be added so why would they make them illegal, the government loves cigarettes although they put up a front that says they don't.
Not a chance. Big tobacco has the republicans paid off, but it likely will be taxed to hell and back over and over, likely see 15-$20 a pack in the future.

With a pack costing what..$85.00 (ok I jest) these days of which $83.00 is in taxes the government is going to lose a lot of revenue there.
Shades of prohibition. I can see a flourishing black market here. Maybe time to stock up on rolling papers and learn how to grow tobacco ??
I'll venture out in my trench coat with the inside flap loaded with filter or non filter "hand rolled". Sorry..don't know how to do menthol.
