Yeah....I don't know if that would be such a good idea. Isn't tobacco one of North Carolinas largest crops and source of income for the state? You might have some old hardliners take offense.

I totally agree with you though I just don't think it would need to be brought into the addressing of the ban.

I quit smoking cigarettes after close to 15 years(best thing I have done for myself along with quitting drinking). I believe people should be able to make their own choices but I don't understand how keeping reptiles harms anyone?

I haven't heard of anyone getting eaten or dying from a non-venomous reptile ever in the U.S. Maybe somebody's poor little pooch but people get maimed and killed everyday from dogs. But it's OK because dogs are sweet and friendly and "man's best friend". We need to tell these folks that our animals are our best friends. There are by far more reponsible herp owners than not. That message needs to be delivered.
