I’ve smoked here and there. Never gotten an addiction.

Define addiction?
It can be anything not just drugs. Too much TV, sex and even food or browsing this forum.
You have an addiction you just fail to realise.

Too deep :neutral_face:

Netflix and TV is almost an addiction to me. I'd say I have a very addictive personality tbh. Sometimes it's a good thing though.

I gave it away about 16 years ago after I had to quit the booze and rec drugs.... Tobacco was definitely the hardest to kick

It was simultaneously the easiest and hardest thing I've ever done. GF day 09 was my last dart. Nearly caved a year later but the wife got me to pull together.
 
Don't agree with banning tobacco though.

If anything it should be going the other way and decriminalising drug use.

Plant based drugs sure, decriminalisation of the drugs sourced from nature.
None of that chemical synthetic lab drugs should be allowed.

Tobacco you should be allowed to grow your own with none of the 130+ chemicals added to the cigarette recipe.
Remove the chemicals and it would cause a lot less cancers.

I've no idea how much tobacco plant a pack a day smoker would
need to grow, I'd imagine a paddock or two?
 
14 year olds couldn't care less about tobacco. Vaping has taken over.
The amount of nicotine stashed away by vapers is enough to supply several generations of vapours for a lifetime if a permanent ban on vaping was ever introduced.

Vaping or regarding the nicotine?

Nicotine can be purchased in NZ at various strengths with a prescription. eg. 100mg/ml concentration being a popular choice.

It would only take about 1.8ml of (100mg/ml nicotine) to a 60ml bottle of nicotine-free flavoured juice to get a little nicotine hit when vaping.. So a little nicotine mixed with flavoured vape juice can go a long way. Seeing as it can be purchased for $90 for 500ml, it won't break the bank for serious smokers/vapours purchasing several litres if a permanent ban was every introduced. It would be enough nicotine to add to your vape juice to last decades.

As some people have mentioned, this is going to happen naturally anyway as kids these days love the vape.

Decriminalise all drug use. Legalise marijuana and institute harsher penalties for synthetic drug distribution.
