WHY ARE ALL CIGARETTES AND MISCELLANEOUS DRUGS LEGAL?

Weed, pot, cocaine, and other illegal drugs are dangerous to the body, as
well as cigarettes. These drugs harm the body so why are they legal? Guns
and knives are illegal at schools and other places, but teachers and staff
are allowed to smoke.

Smoking is as much harmful to the smokers as to the second-hand smokers.
Guns can harm, so they are illegal to have at many places, yet cigars and
other legal drugs are allowed in these places. I don't see the point of
drugs that are harmful to the body and yet people think they relax them and
make them feel better.

All these drugs do is destroy their lungs, and make them have a shorter
lifespan. I know that if the government would ban these drugs, there would
be a lot of commotion from

millions of people, but it's for their own good.

If they want to smoke, why don't they just shoot themselves with a gun
because it's a lot quicker and less painful than many years of smoking.
That's why I believe that drugs that are legal that people use for pleasure
should be banned and become illegal.
