Won’t happen.
Like other sin taxes like the lottery, too much tax money is being brought in.
I call it one of the few voluntary taxes, and I am more than happy not to have to pay that one.
Legalize Marijuana ... tax it and the 60 billion dollar war on drugs would be over ....oops ... wait a minute.
That is exactly why marijuana will NEVER be made legal. to many bureaucrats have built empires on the war on drugs. Make them (drugs) legal and all that govt funding and govt jobs would go away.
follow the money

Don't count on it.
I live in a state that is roughly 400 miles on a side, with only 1.6 million in population and I can't legally smoke anywhere but my own house and my own automobile (with the windows closed).
Sooner or later the tax revenues will drop below what can be gained in expanded power and funding for the government if tobacco is made illegal. So it goes.
lol, you assume that tobacco prohibitionists are rational, while in fact they are anything but. Like any zealots they are more than willing to shoot themselves in the head in order to get their way. Lunatics are like that.
