Tobacco and alcohol have large cultural influence. Tobacco at least should be eradicated mostly and alcohol ought to generally be reduced in usage. However, those are orthogonal problems. The solution is not to embed yet more addictive, harmful substances into the culture, without any of the controls that tobacco and alcohol do. I mean, I remember seeing marijuana ads all on buses in SF and on huge billboards in Portland, whereas that would be illegal for tobacco without massive scary warnings.
