Popularity for tobacco is steadily being eroded in America. Many states don't allow it in restaurants or bars anymore, and it's no longer seen as "cool" to as many people as before.
As for making alcohol illegal, they tried that during the Prohibition. Everybody drank just as much, if not more, except that instead of reputable distillers and wineries producing booze, you now had shady moonshiners, and that was outright dangerous.
