Tobacco is an addictive product that on average hurts the people who use it as a negative utility. Almost every other product people buy has a positive utility. Tobacco, along with other drugs, is uniquely bad.

> Tobacco, along with other drugs, is uniquely bad.

How can it be "uniquely bad" if it's "along with other drugs"?

		Not every drug has the same effects and side effects. For example, marijuana is much less dangerous than heroin.
