I think for most part of the world, drugs ,like cocaine, narcotic, etc., are considered illegal and are completely ban from society. Drugs are known scientifically that are 'very' bad to body, and it may be fatal as well. Cigarettes are also proved to be bad for health and are also proved to cause a lot of chronic and fatal illness to people. However, they can be legally sold in most part of the world. Why? Why can't we treat cigarettes like what we treat drugs by completely banning from society? On the contrary, if we can sell cigarettes as commercial goods, like TVs, by those big company, why can't they sell drugs like cigarettes in society as well? In US, I don't think that there is constitution right like owning weapon (guns) for cigarettes. So we cannot prohibit people from owning guns but is it possible to ban cigarette legally since it is just other commercial products like TVs.
