which means no one can ban it without writing a bill and going from there. The whole legal process

They also said during that show that researchers have noticed a increase in the amount of nicotine in cigarettes in recent years.

what actually happens is lowering nicotine makes you smoke more ...............big pharma(patches, gums etc.) will never allow a nicotine ban
