Or you make Y illegal as well. Smoking is all but illegal today in Sweden, they banned smoking in restaurants 16 years ago and has since extended that ban to most public places.

Great! Now at least legalize "smoking weed in your home" in Sweden and we're talking about the same.
Now what's so annoying about some person taking a line of coke in public? (do you get the drift?)

Smoking weed in your home is already all but legal in Sweden. In the super unlikely case you get caught you pay a small fine and is free to go, the people I know who smoke weed aren't worried about the Police, more annoyed than anything. And regular tobacco smoking has mostly disappeared since it has became so inconvenient.

You mentioned tobacco, which is recently saw laws made against it in Sweden.
I then also take the approach in what laws should then be remove in order not to unfairly "discriminate against certain behavior" (which is sadly so common nowadays).
Okay. How do you feel about ciggies, cigars and pipe? That also smells horrendous? Or car exhaust fumes?
The thing here is: you can be against something because it will be "yet another annoying thing"... But that ignores the freedom aspect: if behavior X is less-than-or-equally annoying (unhealthy, addictive, etc.) compared to Y, and Y is legal, then that is a good argument that X should be legal too. If not we get into "unfair discrimination against behavior X" territory.
