Hence vaping and nicotine cheek pouches.

Can ban the stuff outright, find a regulatory way to accomplish the same thing through the back door. And, of course, the additional processing is likely to increase prices.

(No, I've never smoked, never tried. Harassed my parents as a teen enough to get my father to quit; my mother ... Inveterate smoker for decades but she had a pre-determined maximum price limit and when she went to restock and that limit had been reached, she stopped cold turkey and never went back.)

Of course, there will be carve outs for religious or ceremonial or cultural reasons. And probably not enforceable at all on reservations. So a sieve.
