Yet another nail in the lucrative tobacco business, eh? Well, I don’t doubt those guys will get their way in the end, though. They’ve already begun complaining about the legality of this decision, but whatever happens, tobacco will thrive for a long time to come. And when it won’t, they’ll just invest in something else and continue making mountains of money.
