I'm not sure how I feel about this, and I don't even smoke.

I just think they should leave people to make their own choices about what they put into their own bodies. Banning it will do nothing except create an unregulated black market for it, banning other drugs clearly hasn't worked so what makes them think this situation will be any different? Not to mention the amount of money in tax the government makes from the sales of cigarettes. If people want to smoke they will find a way.

Nah, not for it. As Twister says, it'll go underground and those e-cigs are the next big thing anyway so imagine they'll give that a try instead.
