Every society has its socially acceptable drugs - every single one. Ours just happen to be two of the most harmful. It all boils down to $$$$$. There are some jurisdictions that garner a large percentage of their revenue from tax on tobacco. And, the liquor and tobacco lobbies give millions to our representatives to make sure they keep them legal and assessable. Not to mention TV ads and on and on...
