According to the CDC, 75,000 people die annually from alcohol related events and cigarette smoking causes 443,000 deaths annually in the U.S. alone. These products, however, are still marketed and sold in the U.S. with the government actually profiting from the sales of these dangerous drugs through taxes. It is a well-known fact that these drugs are lethal and cost the taxpayers millions in health care. Both tobacco and alcohol are highly addictive drugs with no medical use whatsoever, and should be classed as schedule 1 drugs in the same classification as marijuana and meth-amphetamines.
