    Please stop saying utopia. I just want the government to do fewer things, I'm not asking for the world here.

    Obviously in a free society it would become apparent that cigarettes cause health harm. Do you think all scientific and medical research is done by states? Obviously even in a pure anarcho-capitalist experiment there would still be laws, law enforcement, suing, contracts, etc. There is great economic value in all of these things. There will also always be non-profit organizations that advocate for causes. In fact, with people making twice as much money (from not having to pay taxes), I suspect a lot more money would flow to such causes than now.

    As long as no fraud is being committed, I have no issue with any marketing strategies for tobacco.
