I believe the Constitution will have to be changed and IIRC, it’s a 2/3 vote.

Worse than that. An amendment requires a 2/3 vote in each house of Congress and ratification by 3/4 of the states.

There's a reason we don't amend the Constitution any more.

+ 3/4 vote by the LEGISLATURE of each state.

Funny how prohibition got reversed so fast.

The smoking issue...is really "legislated prohibition".
