Reply #46: Nice hyperbole.

Note that I didn't, in any way, call for prohibition.

But smokers are harming themselves and imposing costs on
society, and we should take all reasonable steps to disincline
current smokers from continuing with their drug addiction
and, more importantly, prevent new folks from getting addicted.

Steadily raising the cost of smoking is an excellent step in those
directions.
