Look at all the damage alcohol has on society, from assaults to domestic violence and health issues but they advertise it all over TV, sponsor sporting events and have venues centered around alcohol consumption.
It's the same with gambling, another industry that's bad for society and causes untold damage to addicts but it's advertised all over TV, sponsors of sport and has it's presence all over the country.
Tobacco literally kills people and has this army of addicts feeding revenue to the government through it's taxes, so much so that if everyone quit smoking tomorrow we'd all be paying extra taxes.
One is a drug, the other two have its addicts also - all three contribute huge amounts of taxes to the government.
