Legality of tobacco compared to legality of restricted drugs
The nature of the nationalistic tendencies is that tobacco is perceived as acceptable, while other drugs are restricted and perceived as evils, except tobacco is obviously and absolutely proven to be a highly dangerous and harmful, plus addictive drug, causing over 7 million deaths per year, while the nature of evil, both in considerations of evil is defined as harm done to humans, including death, but (to be verified) especially if the humans belong to the United States (or allies).

During 2004 about 5 million people aged thirty years and more than thirty years of age died as direct cause from tobacco (World Health organization).

Tobacco "kills" more than 7 million people each year. (updated values of May 2017 World Health organization)

Posit: ''Other restricted drugs were restricted for public safety, to preserve order in society by limiting the effects of use on the consciousness of the majority of the population,

to protect citizens of countries, is indicated by the need for restriction and (to be verified) the lower number of deaths from other psychoactive drugs compared to tobacco. ''
