Isn't that what we do with cigarettes?  Honestly, what other product that has "This will fucking kill you" stamped on the outside of the package do we even allow to be sold?

At the same time I think most of us who hang out at this inter-webs-pseudo pub/barber shop do agree that prohibition of any sort (taxation included) has never accomplished anything outside of filling the pockets of criminals and politicians (redundant I know, also see the Kennedy/Bush family tree's.)

Not exactly. Buy a $40 roll-your-own gizmo and smokes are cheaper than were before the surgeon general raised the alarm... in 1964. Fifty years ago, like nothing ever happened.

Yep, welcome to MA.

I did buy an actual pack last week and still feel foolish for having done so.  Make your own booze, grow your own weed and find your own woman who will help you with both.

the life expectancy of Liverpool’s men would be 19 months longer if all booze-related deaths were prevented

Do they seriously expect me to trade sixty years of good booze for 1.5 years of wearing diapers and a hearing aid???
