But aren't these outliers? For the vast majority of people it is an occasional indulgence, like alcohol, no?

anecdotally, I feel like I know many more regular smokers than regular drinkers.

That said, this could also be selection bias.

I am currently living clean, but have had multiple periods of being stoned basically 24/7 beforehand, whilst always having a very healthy relationship to alcohol (a few drinks socially, once per week or less). It's possible that the people I attract into my life tend to be similar to me.
