If it makes me happy to burn one, then who the fuck is the collective ass of California to tell me that I can't burn one IN MY OWN CAR?! What, are you going to say that I can't do it in my house next? Will the sale of tobacco products suddenly become illegal in California? Didn't Prohibition teach these fucks anything? How about the war on drugs, didn't that teach them anything?
Banning something makes the cookie jar syndrome come into play. If we can't have it legally, then we will jack up prices, smuggle shit in, and sell it on the black market for double value, instigating mafia and gang tactics, kill people over the money, and WE'LL STILL HAVE OUR GOODIES! Might not be legally had, but they'll be had.
Every time I hear shit like this, it reminds me of how much I hate the bereaucratic mentality and why, despite the fact that I love San Diego's climate and local flavor, I will try to avoid moving there like I try to avoid the plague.

Smoking really is a bad thing to do to your body though Tal.
It destroys your lungs especially.
