True, that’s what happened when alcohol was banned in the US and even after prohibition, the Mafia having gained a lot of power did not go broke, they just moved on to different things
And this is how the tobacco war began in New Zealand (unless they canceled this). I am all for reducing smoking and alcohol consumption, but banning the supply isn’t the way, you have to reduce demand.
Let me tell you what’s going to happen … the government is going to lose 2 billion dollars in tax revenue and have to increase another tax to compensate .. people will still be smoking and I doubt any prosecutions come of it (much like prohibition in America) .. people will also be finding alternatives .. banning something doesn’t have the effect that’s intended
