How you gonna cope when

Big Tobacco takes over the mj business:

..... in the same research that concluded that alcohol and cigarettes are complements, marijuana and cigarettes were also found to be complements. This means that smokers of one are more likely to be smokers of the other. Altria can increases its investment on the growth and future of smoking by investing in another smoking solution. Not only complements, a lot of smokers like to create spliffs, by taking cigarettes and making a marijuana-tobacco cigarette. This combination could be produced by Altria as a means of targeting the dual preference of smokers.

Secondly, marijuana has a built-in audience. Musicians put smoking weed in their lyrics and that encourages their fans to go out and enjoy. With the increase acceptance of marijuana smoking, the stigma of tobacco smoking, because of their complementary nature, will likely go away as well and with less of a stigma, more people will be willing to give it a try.
