As a counterexample, I cite nicotine. From all accounts I've read, nicotine is about the most physically addictive drug around, more so than heroin even.

True. I once spoke to a customs & excise officer who said that if the government agencies knew years ago what they know know, cannabis would be legal & nicotine illegal. But look at the problems of the prohibition. Now think about banning cigarettes. Just not possible.

AngelFish, you're right about the prostitution laws, but you missed that's it's also illegal to live off the earnings of prostitution. Not sure if that applies to prostitutes themselves, but certainly applies to pimps - immoral earnings. As if the ruling elite have any idea of morality!

But you missed the key - the johns, who in my view are only abusing women, have no legal opposition at all. Now, why is that, if not for the fact that politians want to leave themselves a nice little loophole...
