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?
