Might get shit on for this, but this is one of those things that I would be okay with just outright banning.
The addictive nature of nicotine is widely known, and smoking cigarettes is way worse for health than weed. Chronic smokers are basically trapped into paying tobacco companies to essentially commit suicide in slow motion.
Unfortunately the massive “sin” tax on tobacco means governments are just as addicted as users. On the bright side, it’s still not quite as bad as it is in countries where the government has an ownership stake in the biggest tobacco company, like India and Japan (at least they used to).
I have always advocated for a 5 year phase out of nicotine or any other addictive substances in all products. Each year you reduce it by 20% till you hit zero.
