Why smoking is illegal and drugs like cocaine and heroin aren't

People who smoke know that they're going to die, and it might be because of smoking. Like you know middle-aged men would be like "yeah i smoke and do all of these things, i'm going to get lung cancer and die"

They KNOW that and accept it. but people who use heroin don't know they're going to die from it. even though they're much MORE likely to die from it. they're not able to even think that far.
