Does anyone on the planet think that this will stop smoking in Beverly Hills? Or, does it simply raise the transactions cost of buying cigarettes?
Including pot?
I didn’t think so.
Smoking in America today is almost exclusively a habit of the poor. Doubt it will impact too many residents of Beverly Hills. The few smoker holdouts can direct their housekeepers and nannies to pick up cartons outside of city limits.
just pushes shoppers to nearby cities. If I am going to buy smokes in Santa Monica I’ll buy groceries there also. ill hurt Beverly Hills stores.
