Nicotine or tobacco even are not intoxicants, strictly speaking. Also what you’re proposing seems like an extremely slippery slope. What’s the issue with intoxicants? They are harmful? Well a lot of things are.. why don’t we ban sugar, saturated fat, maybe all the things that encourages sedentary behavior? Television, sofas, comfy beds? All illegal. What’s the objective?

Are you arguing that they are equivalent to drugs?

  No, but I presumed you object to drugs due the negative social utility their usage leads to. Why is it any of your or mine business what substances people consume if they don’t hurt anyone by doing that?
