Hm.

I kind of have to wonder how big of a factor it was in the whole "we're specifically going to tolerate alcohol and tobacco as recreational drugs" public policy trajectory that both of those have some of the least preventable harms in heavy use, out of basically any drug that was relevant a century ago.

Like, in the sense that people with Puritanical mindsets toward psychoactive substances might prefer it if any legal drugs are specifically ones that'll wreck you if you engage in what they probably conceptualise as "overindulgence" (in the Christian moral sense).
