    I imagine some addicts would continue to buy from the black market but most people probably will stop once the convenience of e.g getting it from the grocers no longer exists. Not to mention it would make it harder to become addicted to begin with.

      Prohibition has never turned out this way though. If there’s a market there will be so many black market sellers that the convenience factor will quickly become irrelevant. It could also make smoking cool again.
