Answers:
Cigarettes packs are made to fit in pockets easily, so obviously they can be concealed much easier than bottled alcohol can!.

There's also health and safety regulations that require a cashier to give to cigarettes to the customer, this way its difficult for someone under 18 to walk out with them!. Taxation is also different on cigarettes and alcohol, and part of it is just grocery stores try to be responsible to help prevent young people from having access to cigarettes!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Cigs are easier to steal!. Liquor bottles are bigger!. Y cant they just legalize pot and regulate that, the government could easily put a huge tax like they do wit smokes and make huge amounts of money in return, and wit some age restrictions i guess!. There would less crime and dealings, atleast wit weed anyways!. That be tight!Www@FoodAQ@Com
