Oh, that's negotiable. It's only a question of enough people getting fed up with the insurance and healthcare costs, not to mention the lost "slacker time" of smokers as they disappear for a butt. And then there are the tobacco farmer's subsidies...

Once enough people get fed-up with it, then it won't be legal anymore. Legal just means that a concensus of people didn't agree to make something illegal. As far as I know the constitution doesn't say anything about tobacco, but it does speak a lot about governing for the common good. Passing a law that would...
- 1) Increase the health of the population
- 2) Decrease healthcare costs
- 3) Cut government subsidies

What's not to like about it?
