Interesting. The alternative would be vaping I would imagine. Which, the cynic in me sees that there's more monopolization there for tobacco companies. I bet the average cost between the various vaping machines and devices, the USB chords, the power needed to use them, the flavors, etc. I bet there's more money to be made there Vs. just having rolled up cigarettes.

I don't personally smoke but how else would you find or derive nicotine? You would still need tobacco farmers, no? So, planters stay in business there, maybe? While also adding other layers to the product and production lines. Makes sense. This is what's happening in the video game industry now. You buy a base product, then you just pay for a subscription fee, cosmetic upgrades in the game, weapons, downloadable content, etc.
