Alcohol and tobacco have bad effects - is keeping them legal and regulated a bad plan?

If it is a mistake to allow relatively-unregulated use of these substances

Is it? Seems to me that the conservative position is that self-harm is not the proper business of government.

Seems to me that the position is more libertarian than conservative. Conservatives aren't calling for a nanny state but they aren't calling for the almost total elimination of restrictions, either.
