For something to be attractive on the black market it’d have to be attractive on its own.
Cigarettes have abjectly lost that race ever since the campaign of trotting every lung cancer patient able to be found in front of the cameras was normalized.

I think chances are we are at a stage where most would-be smokers would just opt for vaping, given that while it sounds like he wants some restrictions on that as well, it doesn’t like that’d be subjected to the year over year age increase?
Great goal but like with all other narcotics, wouldn’t this just create a huge black market and thus massively fund criminal organizations?
I’m not so sure
Cigarettes are not often seen with the same attraction as other drugs
The draw from younger potential customers is greatly outweighed by far less harmful stuff like weed or even shrooms
And the best way to change that is by making them illegal.

Yeah if smoking is due to infuriate the grown-ups then someone will pick it up!
I don’t think they’re going to give people twenty years for selling cigarettes to minors.
