A comment on Suspected head of $21B crime syndicate may be world’s most innovative drug lord. Parent comment

Tobacco indicates to us that the answer is 'absolutely false', not 'absolutely correct'
Smoking is absolutely a socially accepted behaviour.
We ban it in certain areas largely because it's intrusive to others.
It's not fully condoned obviously we don't put it in film or advertise it - but it is a widely consumed product.
If Opiates ever reached the penetration of smoking, we'd have a situation as bad as COVID.
We already have a public health crisis with Opiods, and they are very aggressively suppressed and controlled.
True legalization (i.e. more than decriminalization) would wield some pretty scary problems.
I don't even understand how this is not just a rhetorical argument.
