Did it? Granted I only have a few Irish mates on FB but I hear an awful lot about something called 'salvia' from them. From what I know of it, thats a legal high (though I suspect illegal in ireland because of this post)

Blanket ban would include both alcohol and nicotine.

Verdict: not a blanket ban.

When will they learn? Legalise it, regulate it, make the products safe for consumption and take the criminality and thrill seeking out of it.
