I for one aplaud the Bhutanese government for doing it.
While I do believe in freedom of choice, I also believe that things that hurt your body like Tobacco, Alchohol and drugs should not be classified as a freedom.

It would never work in our society, as soon as its banned its going to go onto the black market and increase crime, and not to mention the public outcry.

I dont think I'll go to Bhuutan if HomoSexuality is forbidden, I wont go to any country where there is not freedom for everyone no matter what, its bad enough I have to live here in America.

How? Prohibition of alcohol resulted in a rum running mob, but thats because there were foreign companies producing alcohol, and because it could be produced locally and covertly. How are cigarettes going to be produced if they are outlawed in the US and the tobacoo companies are broken up? Certianly not on the same scale as alcohol I should think.
Judging from your avatar, you dont look very tasty.- no need to worry
