Black markets with a large and profitable user base are extremely efficient at getting their products into the hands of users. Prohibition of alcohol in the U.S. did little to suppress use. Neither did prohibition of pot for 50 years. I don’t see any reason to believe prohibition of cigarettes would be any more successful, especially when you consider how addictive they are.

Probably 99% of smokers are smoking multiple times a day. That number for pot is much less.
