Noble Leaf Tobacco Company, anyone?

The shortest length would be a 120, standard width of course. None of this Slim and Superslim nonsense.

Regular, Menthol, and whatever other flavours the test market likes. Gotta keep the customers happy. Happy customers come back.

And smoking ALWAYS satisfies.

A very low ceiling on tobacco taxes.

Relaxed age requirements, parental consent required before adulthood of course.

No advertising bans, no discrimination against smokers at workplaces, or by insurance companies.

Smoke-free areas only where it makes sense to have them.

No additives to hammer Nicotine into the bloodstream to deliberately get people habituated, smoking would always be a choice.

Style coaches for anyone wanting to up their game.

Fines for littering though, public ashtrays would be plentiful.

Smoking etiquette would be taught in senior schools.

Any public official who suggests or tries to get passed a tax increase or nonsense ban would be put in stocks in a public place to be ashed on by passers by in a suitably enclosed area so the ash doesn't blow away, until they learned the error of their ways.

Anti-smoking terrorists, black marketeers, and others convicted of serious crimes would endure the same punishment, but with a higher enclosure. Let the punishment fit the crime.

Cigarettes and other tobacco products would be safer, and less harmful to the health.

Vaping would be declared cringe and gay.

Retirement plans would include a free carton or equivalent of the retiree's choice every year, and be exempt from paying the already low tobacco taxes on those products.

Grid Girls are back, baby! Smokin' Hot!

The Tobacco market would be global, every brand, every variant, available everywhere.

Unemployment would virtually be a thing of the past, jobs would be plentiful.

And just think of the Cinema, and the Fiction. WOO!

Nick
