Same as cigaretes. No matter how much someone from tobaco industry tells you in what ways cigaretes are useful to you, goverment wants to ban (limit) how much you use them. Does not make cigaretes useful.

Lol. If cigarettes are truly useless and government wants to ban it, why would anyone want to use it? Usefulness must have a very strange meaning to you.

Yes. Useful to the people who use them. Does useful equal to ethical? No.

Your comparison fails because 'Causing the 2nd most preventable deaths' is far from "useless" it's just an undesirable use.
