I took that to mean "addictive drugs are uniquely bad compared to the general category of 'consumer goods'"

Tobacco ranks pretty high in term of dependence and physical harm, especially considering that it's legal.

Not every drug has the same effects and side effects. For example, marijuana is much less dangerous than heroin.
