And what about tobacco?
History of Tobacco RegulationAs the subsection says...
REGULATION FOR REVENUE...
...it was "regulated" (a law was established)
for revenue.
It's all about taxes, not use.

it was "regulated" (a law was established) for revenue. "Section 19 gave details of how the casks were to be branded. Section 24 specified that 'Proprietors of stills' were to keep written accounts of the hours the still was operated and the quantity of liquor it produced"
See http://www.motherbedford.com/Whiskey.htm
Still operators who failed to abide by the regulations were subject to seizure.
