Hell no! They'd be dealed on the streets like crack heroin.. And
people would commit crimes, sell their bodies to get the cash to
score. The only reason this isn't happening on the streets today is
because tobacco/cigarettes are still available in abundance. But just
take a look in US prison facilities, where smoking is banned too..
People get killed for 1 nicotine fix.

That's the perception and there was a riot in one prison
that banned cigarettes but the norm is prisoners just went
on with their lives. What could they do? They're in prison.

There is smuggling. Always was. Hard drugs, of course. But
in smokefree prisons smuggling of tobacco takes place right
alongside other drugs.

Current addicts are willing to pay the price but would non-nicotine
addicts prefer the drug over one that actually does something?
