Also, I don't htink people smoking weed would lead to tobacco smoking. if someone smokes weed before smoking tobacco they'd probably think "cigarettes?!?! what's the point. they don't taste nearly as good as weed, they don't get you high, and they are addictive!"
so yeah why would anyone go from weed to tobacco? i can see the other way around but... yeah.

I dunno, just a need to smoke when there's no cannabis available. Mind you, if it were legal then it probably would be available
I do know people who have gone from cannabis to tobacco though.
Advertising tobacco products is actually illegal over here, and any cigarette box has to have massive writing saying things like 'Smoking causes a long and painful death' and 'Smoking makes you impotent'.
Doesn't seem to put anyone off though...
