Why are we debating the definition of oppression? You have an opinion about porn and you want to to have strict control over other people. That is a textbook definition of oppression.

Cigarettes and alcohol are known to cause harm, opposed to porn where the discourse is almost 100% opinionated. They are also not regulated to the extent you’re advocating for.

In terms of hard drugs, I don’t know what drugs exactly but I’m in favour of legalising drugs. The illegality of drugs causes more societal harm than legal use. Hence the current worldwide shift to legalisation.

If porn does cause harm (debatable), we need education. Regulating and monitoring people who like sex, treating them like criminals, makes no sense as we are, by nature, sexual beings.
