> Either tobacco becomes a controlled substance

What on earth are you talking about? Tobacco is already a controlled substance in more ways than nearly anything that you can buy at a store (including guns).

I meant prohibited, of course. I think that is fairly obvious from the context of my post. Sorry for the lack of rigor.

Where I live it is almost impossible to buy a gun. On the other hand, I can go downstairs and buy a pack of cigarettes with the same ease that I could buy bubble gum. No questions asked, no ID needed, no records.
