This can't be determined.
Marijuana is illegal and yet millions of Americans smoke or use it daily. It is also easy to test if one has smoked weed, yet people still do it.
While marijuana is not addictive (although arguable, NO ONE will argue that THC is a more addictive substance than nicotine) millions still smoke it daily. Making an addictive substance (that millions of people use each day)illegal would only cause those with strong morals and respect for the law to quit. While less people would start smoking, since the price of cigarettes would skyrocket (hard to believe they could get any more expensive already, yet people still use them after a huge price rise) those already hooked on them would "need their fix" and most likely continue until morals, law, money, or health stood in their way.
Another perfect example would be prohibition. From 1920-1933 Americans could not purchase or legally drink alcohol. In New York alone there were up to 100,000 speakeasys, or illegal drinking clubs. Alcohol was consumed on the down low, and people (mobs) made tons of money off smuggling alcohol.
Hope this helps. Sorry I don't have an exact percent, but I can guarantee MANY would still smoke.
