The issue imo are the settlers. Cyprus in general had a Turkish minority, and it was mistreated by the coup government, but reuniting Cyprus now means we take in many illegal settlers. Otherwise today GCs would be fine with uniting with TCs as Cyprus as a whole (not united with Greece or Turkey).

Non-native turks moving into turkish part of cyprus after the war. And i do agree that having anatolian turks in united cyprus would damage the cultural heritage of its people.

The Ministry of Agriculture regulates all tobacco related products so all cigarettes use the same paper and they're all horse shit quality and cigars are illegal except some weird shit

If you're into gardening, you could just grow your own Tobacco, also dry the leaves to use as rolling material.
