Actually lots of people - me included - buy rolling paper for the express purpose of rolling cigarettes. Rolling tobacco is a lot cheaper and nicer than the pre-rolled stuff. Of course rolling paper - like most things - can be used for more than one purpose; I've even seen it used in scratch model building as blankets.

As for the art market, it is a good vehicle for conspicuous consumption but also for speculation and money laundering: why would the prices have to be so high otherwise? Is anything really worth that kind of money?
