Because people have passed laws against some drugs and not against others.

I'm going to take a wild stab here and guess that the person who asked this question was a teenager, because as you get older you tend to get more cynical and stop expecting that the law, or rules in general, will actually make any logical sense, at which point you recognize that the answer to questions of this nature is "because that's how things are."

It's certainly possible to argue that Substance X (let's pick, oh, say, marijuana) should be legal. It's equally possible to argue that Substance Y (let's make this one tobacco) should be illegal. And if you feel strongly about that sort of thing, then you should definitely campaign for it.

What you should not do is assume that the people who wrote the laws, in many cases several decades ago, had the same notion of how things ought to be that you do.

It's all about social acceptance and sociological/philosophical perceptions between the two drugs. I am not a professional, and this is just an opinion (although not very helpful).
