There has been a great reduction in the numbers of cigarette smokers without having to put them in jail. A lot of education, elevation of sin tax and bans of smoking in some settings has had success. In spite of cigarettes being one of the most addictive drugs known to man. As a child, I broke a lot of laws to keep smoking. B&E and shoplifting, mostly. While attempting to jail users of some drugs, there has not been such a reduction. In spite of the billions we spend every year in the attempt. Drug laws don't produce the desired results. Education does. Drug laws totally waste huge amounts of governmental resources and taxpayer money.
