"Drug testing? That's fine, because no one has a right to use illegal substances. But nicotine is not against the law."

But more importantly, how is it the government can make certain substances illegal? In the case of alcohol, a constitutional amendment was needed, but seemingly not so for these others - even those whose hazards are debatable.
