How the fuck are people still smoking cigarettes in this day and age?

Addicts never went away.

Addiction? Also, why does anyone do drugs?

At least drugs do something as they fuck up your body, cigarettes don't do shit and they still kill you.

My thinking exactly. Use a vaporizer like the mighty+, get that inhalation hit you crave, and get buzzed. Not as bad as smoking, still not great for your health either, but at least you get something out of it.

Because they probably assume you're capable of governing yourself?

Wait, that's illegal.

I'm no expert by any means and you should check other sources, but the main reason might be that all other provinces did outlaw the sale already.

Who says they have to? It's a magnet for shoplifting anyway.

Tourism's my guess.
