No because they'll lose that source of revenue. It'll need to be replaced if it's banned. Maybe something "less harmful" like pot can be legalized and still bring in tax money.
If they really wanted to eliminate it as a health risk they'd ban it flat out. There's a chance that some people will smoke more and therefore purchase more which will result in an increase in tax revenue. Good thing only people who make over $250k smoke so they're the ones getting the tax increase.
