They would be unable to buy cigarettes, there would be no law against smoking them. That’s an important difference.

So how would you propose we end the sale of tobacco?

Tax it more, and make it available for sale only in specialist retailers, would be a great way to dramatically decrease the amount sold.

I don't think ending the sale altogether is worthwhile actually, this will merely create a black market for the product.
