  I think smoking should be made prohibitively expensive. So much that nobody wants it anymore.

  Places have tried that. People just switch to cheaper and tax free contraband cigarettes.

  I wish such a price existed… Unlike parking violations which are just parking fees for the rich.

    This is one of the things that the Netherlands is doing well. There’s a huge extra tax on cigarettes. I think one cigarette costs about 50-75 euro cents. It should be more imo but it’s in the right direction.
