It would never happen. Even if every country banned tobacco you would never get rid of it.
It would be just like any other illegal drug or substance.
There would still be a demand for it therefore someone would find a way to supply it. Prices on it would triple but there would still be a demand.
Why do you think the government is taxing the hell out of it now ? Do you think the gov. is really proactively trying to stamp out smoking ?
NO , they just imply that !
It's a politically correct excuse to get their piece of the pie !
It sounds good to the public.
When in reality the gov. right now is making as much off tobacco as the billion dollar tobacco companies are.

If you eliminated tobacco from the world, the world would just find another addiction. People condemn those who smoke, drink, gamble and have promiscuous sex. But does anyone condemn the food addict? Let's do something about that. Look at all the grossly obese who kill themselves, the loved ones they leave behind because they chose food over family.

Add some type of natural additive that would make the body reject the nicotine & cause nauseau. This way the person is still getting all the full flavor of the nocotine but will smoke a lot less & hopefully stop altogether

Do what my Dad did. Let me take a drag off his cigerette when I was 5. To this day I have nothing to do with tobacco with exception of a very rare occurance of cigar (1-2 per year)

Stop worrying about it. Just do whatever you want and let others do the same. If they want to smoke so be it. It WAS a free country.
