Either the Entire US is Muslim or the Government didn't get the message from prohibition. although the first one is in and of itself interesting.
 
Hmm.

I think the only question is cultural taboos. Perhaps the face of alcohol becomes the drunk driver, the abusive husband and father, and the drunk party girl who winds up leaching on welfare for years. Perhaps Smokers become the face of arsonists, stinky rejects who smell of stink, and a scary number of poisoning deaths.

Keep a negative Media on these incidents--stigmatize users of these chemicals, perhaps brand or deport them. These efforts would become a global crusade as the world recognizes that these drugs are hurtful and the antidrug movement crushes the life out of these industries.

The Pressure builds. Signs begin appearing saying "No Wheezers Allowed" or "No Slurheads allowed", and social prejudices form against outcasts, who are now a tiny minority. It continues--crimes against these groups are ended with sham trials, and even criminal cartels give up on supplying materials.

Hey, it could happen.
 
Either the Entire US is Muslim.

Can we stop using that excuse, for once? Even in Muslim countries there are ways to get around the alcohol ban that are exploited. IIRC in Turkey there is a thriving beer industry, and beer is an alcoholic beverage.

Wait a few years and you are there. This non-smoking bullshit is even getting across the pond. Seriously, the one and only person to decide if you can smoke in a bar has to be the owern, not some a-hole politician!

By the way, I´m not even smoking joints, much less cigarettes.
