You can apply all your same arguments to gambling, but society disagrees -- gambling is regulated.

So regulated that states, through the lottery, are collectively the largest pushers and profiteers.
Somehow I suspect that kind of "regulation" is not what OP had in mind.

Totally irrelevant. This is the logical fallacy argumentum ad populum (i.e. appeal to the majority). We settle our differences democratically, but the outcome could very well be the worse option.
And, by the way, there's plenty of places where gambling is legal, including parts of the US.
