Points in the debate article by Lemieux that are very mertible are ones like "government intervention against smoking becomes less effective is that smokers who were the most easily persuaded have already quit" or that "too much information may also kill information". There are other points though that take away from the debate like the ones on propaganda and cigarette taxation.
Other solutions for the government to increase production would be to have cigarette and tobacco companies do more advertising as there are already enough taxes to help out the government and there are clearly laws that have warnings about what these products do. Tobacco is something that will always be in demand as it and the chemicals in it are very addictive so supply and demand does not have as great an affect as it would on other products so it is important that tobacco companies always have enough for supply.
