What i think you have to ask is why isn't tobacco banned at all If a new drug was discovered today that was highly addictive and caused hundreds of different medical problems it would be declared illegal immediately In Victorian times cocaine and heroin were readily available and were even sent to the trenches in the 1st WW yet these are illegal now. Governments know they can make shed loads of money from tobacco taxes so why ban it, after all it takes years to kill the smoker whereas other drugs kill a lot quicker!!
