the problem with cigarettes is being able to make your own.
The problem with cigarettes is smoking them. If it were not a problem, then the problem would be to grow them, because if you merely roll them, then you're still buying Drum tobacco and Riz Lacroix (RizLa+) paper from the same company as Gauloises, Gitanes and JPS, for example, which are all readymade, if that's the problem you have with them.
But the problem with cigarettes is smoking them. The companies selling them created the lifestyle and encouraged the craving. Basically everybody fell for that.
An association of ninety thousand smokers sues tobacco companies over health issues for 23 billion of $ right now. They deposited their request in 1999, and one should wonder why it took that long for the courts to accept launching the trial. In the end, the Cour Supérieure du Québec will start hearing them now. This makes it the largest anti-tobacco trial ever in Canada.

Anyway... what you say has nothing to do with Julian's problem with cigarettes, and neither does what I'm saying now.
