Remember, laws aren't just a set of moral codes, they are rules enforced by violence.
I don't like cigarettes (or alcohol or any of those other drugs) however, when there is a law against selling untaxed cigarettes, how do you think that's going to be enforced?
It got enforced by an angry officer who placed a deadly chokehold on a person accused of selling untaxed cigarettes! (ie. Eric Garner case)

Be careful with advocating for certain laws, and think about how they'll be enforced before advocating for more laws!
