Alcohol Inhalers

Several states have banned the use of alcohol inhalers. Currently Kentucky is trying to ban the use of them as well. They believe these will create loopholes for teenagers and "under age drinking." The total consumption of alcohol in the state of kentucky is $1 billion a year in sales. the inhalers for the alcohol sell at $299 a piece for a single user or $2,500 for a multi-user inhalor. You will not see an advertisement for one those inhalors, which enables those who want to get drunk by skipping the physical drinking part, anywhere. The sales of these said inhalors continue to increase by state and federal governments attempting to ban them. Kevin Morse, the Kevin Morse, president of Spirit Partners Inc. in Greensboro, North Carolina, which markets the Alcohol Without Liquid, or AWOL, devices saids that its the ban on this product which sky rockets the sales. He states they, AWOL, have not spent the first dime on advertising.

What will these bans do for the economy? Will they continue to cause a rise in demand for the AWOLs and eventually cause liquor sales to increase? Or will they simply stay as they are, and once the government has banned them all together will they disappear off the market? I believe most economist will say they bands will cause these inhalors to become a high seller on the black market.
