Tobacco is a lot more dangerous than weed given how addictive it is yet support for it being illegal is much lower. I guess you could say both should be illegal, but very few people do and the consensus position here is essentially a nonsense position. People who want to ban tobacco halfway have a point but I still wouldn't support it.

For my hot take of the day prostitution being illegal makes even less sense than any of this stuff, with the possible exception of alcohol. 

Freedom argument, mostly because the dangers of alcohol and especially tobacco are much greater than the dangers of marijuana.
you seem to be saying tobacco is worse than alcohol.  Alcohol kills young people and starngers in violent ways, tobacco only kills the person doing it and then, only when they're old.

The issue is you can use alcohol responsibly. I regularly drink socially (and often hard liquor at that) but have never in my life been drunk.
