Tabacco kills more people than marjuana does.
Tabacco causes Cancer quicker than any other drug including alcohol.
Tabacco comes in many forms, chewing tabacco, Skoal, Cigars, smashed in pipes and the cigerette and is used often in conjunction to other drugs.
Tabacco is the easiest drug for children to learn from their parents and gain access too.
Tabacco is a product that can cause other people to become ill just by living with someone else who uses it, but not themselves. SECOND HAND SMOKE
Tabacco is a deadly drug to the inside but also the outside of the body. have you ever looked at the face of a smoker? They wrinkle early, often have problems with their teeth and gums, and after years of smoking reach the stage of coughing up yellow stuff and their bones become frail. Their eyes begin to sink in as the extra skin swells around the eye and just loss the once appealing features they may have had.
Tabacco is a mood killer too. It can cause people who have the same values to never interact because smoke can be a strong allergy.

Alcohol is probably still the number one problem. It causes more deaths than any other drug and untold financial loss to businesses due to workers absences.
Methamphetamine is a major problem and a real scourge, but as horrible as it is I don't believe that it is as pervasive as alcohol. Alcohol is legal and sold everywhere. A person who would never consider buying an illegal drug may abuse alcohol and make themselves a danger to others.
Medical bills due to alcohol are staggering. There's liver disease, not to mention the injuries caused by drunk driving. I'm sure alcohol is a contributing factor to the spread of STDs and other infectious disease.

Probably the lack of education (rather than propaganda). If their were more people aware of what drugs acutally are, there would be less of a problem.

pot because nobody takes it seriously. unless you're like me and have seen several normally healthy people with lots of potential become sickly disgusting people with no future at all that doesn't involve jail or worse.

Right now I think it's a toss up between crack and meth. Both of these contain ingredients that are poisons.
You are probably referring to the overprescribing of prescription drugs, however.
