Alcohol causes health and behavior problems, and tobacco at least the former - what do their say about our society? Should we make them illegal?

So, since alcohol and tobacco are legal, we should legalize yet another class of drugs that are harmful to body and soul?

We should be consistent in applying our professed principles: if we say marijuana should be illegal because it's harmful to body and soul, we should also say that alcohol and tobacco should be illegal because they're harmful to body and soul.

Do you so say?

Don’t disagree with “consistency.”

Disagree with legalizing yet another substance KNOWN to create massive social problems and lay even more massive costs on society.
