I don't think it should be legal, some people are too stupid to wear a seatbelt unless the law forces them, it may sound harsh and against freedom, but it's just a way of protecting people, some people hurt themselves unwillingly because of irresponsibility, this kind o irresponsibility can be controlled by the law.
Hard drugs shouldn't be, they cause to much addiction, the State would just be wasting human resources (I assume you're talking about the sale).
Nope I don't think any adult should be forced to wear a seatbelt or a helmet or a cup. Someone else's stupidity or irresponsibility is not a good reason to infringe on my freedom. I should be allowed to choose not to protect myself so long as I'm not harming or risking harming anyone else.
As far as the drugs thing. You can make them "illegal" but I don't think there should be any "punishment" drugs are a social issue not a criminal one. No jail time and no fines, mandatory rehab is an acceptable "consequence".

Aside from that the sale, purchase, and use of cigarettes is legal.
The same should be said for all drugs. IMO
As a smoker I can tell you 90% of stores sell cigs to minors, nowadays a 14 year old sometimes looks like 18 . It's difficult to keep asking for ID to everyone. A
I was just talking about legalities not the amount of people who choose to break the law.
Where I live there are serious fines for selling cigarettes to minors.
