As a 20 year smoker who's only been free for about 5 years, ban all of forms of nicotine for sale. For about a week or 2 people will freak out and try to find ways around it and then everyone will realize that it's not that hard. The reason smokers perpetually have problems quitting is other smokers are constantly around and it's ultra available. Sure, there's a few out there who will protest and scream about their right to kill themselves, but we don't need to allow companies to profit from selling addictive poison that has ZERO up side. At least alcohol is fun (for most people) to use. Cigarettes taste like trash, you have to force yourself to get addicted to them, they smell, and they kill. The only reason we won't outright ban them has nothing to do with liberty or freedoms, it's purely because the industry is incredibly profitable, and that's how our laws actually get made.
