Because it's the right thing to do and should have been done long ago. Along with an exponential increase in the tax with a mandatory stipulation the money can only be used for healthcare.

Common sense. And yes, it should be banned but that would only work about as well as banning drugs or alcohol. So extreme taxing is the next option.

We already have extreme taxing on tobacco products, cigarettes in particular - with revenues supposedly going to education and health care in many states. This creates a black market in places like NY, and new innovation like the vaping industry which has attracted so many young smokers in need of a nicotine fix. Congress doesn't have the stones to take on the tobacco lobby in spite of the fact that their product - when used as directed - kills people.
