He also vetoed a bill that would have asked voters to divert tobacco taxes to pay for the health expenses of those with tobacco-related ailments, according to the Los Angeles Times.

I agree; let people do unto themselves, in their own space, however they please so long as they don't involve/affect others' persons or property.
I think where I was going is that it's disingenuous to think that a mere policy change from punishment to aid does much against drug use. Neither punishment nor aid works til the user =wants= to do stop using.

I think you are right on.
I believe everybody has their little quirks that others find offensive. A good nut scratching really feels good to me, but I won't do this around others.
Like you say, punishment nor aid will have much effect on this either.
