Uh, okay. I'm sure that'll fix things.
I'm convinced the staff team that comes up with this planning shit is just nothing but r-slurred libmillennials that have no real idea of how to do a job and are just trying to replicate bullshit "feel good plans" they came up in college as an exercise and hope it validates their paycheck.

I quit smoking years ago but I've always held out hope that if I live to be 80 I'd still be able to buy smokes so I can pick it back up once I'm at an age where I don't give a frick about getting cancer.

Right, but convenience wins out in most cases. If cigarettes are simply unavailable from any legitimate means, I highly doubt most people will just stop smoking, lol

This is to move people to vaping which cigarette companies recently locked down through regulatory capture. When every newspaper randomely started printing "vaping kills" stories big tobacco convinced the fda to make it prohibitively expensive to get into the vape market. Now they are working with the government to push all of their customers onto their newer, safer product.
Cigarettes are nothing but a huge liability for tobacco companies now.

If they wanted to move people to vaping they wouldn't have banned mango juul pods
then again that was a different administration so maybe they'll bring them back so 14 year olds can get addicted again

Flavored shit brings too much attention and generates too effective rhetoric against them.
Also the law as written still allows disposable vapes to be flavored

Rightoid supreme court targets shit that's been in effect for decades and decided to kick a hornets nest for what reason? no one knows because it's like they are out of touch and want to cause anger unnecessarily when things were settling down. Now we got leftoid Biden targeting shit unnecessarily that probs won't help much at all since IIRC nicotine isn't what gives you emphysema but hey now cigarette buyers will spend more for their habit.
I frickin hate politicians and hope they all keep themselves safe. So so sooo many things that could be a focus for them and they choose this shit.

Nicotine is the reason people smoke though. It's a slow de facto ban on cigarettes

Research is mixed. Tobacco smoke is uniquely addictive - hence not everyone switched to vapes.

Will small amounts eliminate the addiction though? Nicotine is why people smoke, and this is like a taper down of any drug, but people who want to smoke will just be forced to buy more cigarettes. That doesn't matter to us non-smokers but people who have no interest in quitting will be forced to spend more. It's probably more of a win for cigarette companies. It's not like they will lower prices and users will just smoke more at a time.

It's been a long time since I smoked, and I was never a mega smoker, but I think they would get sick after so many. I never could smoke more than two in a row without getting ill, and I imagine someone chasing the nicotine high going for five might feel the same way even if they are more hard core than I was.

That's similar to the "good intentions, bad outcomes" story as to why they banned cigarette companies from advertising. Don't want to influence kids, so ban adverts (but that inadvertently solidified the incumbents' position in the market, so new entrants faced a higher barrier to entry). People still bought cigarettes because inelastic demand, so it was Great for an oligopoly. Regardless of that prohibition, kids found substitutes for nicotine products (thanks to substitutes), and the older people continued smoking. Cigarette consumption is down mainly because doctors say cancer bad, but that's not due to the advert ban...
