I don’t think they shouldn’t be legal. I think adults should be able to do just about anything they want, even if it harms themselves, as long as it doesn’t harm others. Having the government step in and stop any “harmful” behavior leads to them calling any behavior they don’t like harmful. “Being gay/trans/etc is harmful.”
They shouldn’t be allowed to advertise though. We should be free to make our own decisions, and that means no one manipulating our behavior with advertising.
I disagree. If I want to use drugs that hurt me, I should be allowed to, for example. In my opinion, that’s the government overstepping. They should regulate stuff, to make sure it is what it says it is, and make sure people are aware of the risks, and people aren’t being manipulated. If they choose to harm themselves, they should be allowed to.
I should be able to eat junk food, or go skydiving, or drive a car, or whatever else I want to do if I’m OK with the risk. The government removing the choice is way too far. Their only role should be ensuring the risk is as known as possible.
How are you supposed to legally do something if it’s illegal to purchase? That makes no sense. Why should the government be involved in deciding what you can and can’t buy, beyond ensuring it is what it is and it isn’t misleading or influencing you?

Then they can go lay on the beach or something, shouldn’t let companies offer products and services that are known to be dangerous and unhealthy.

That’s what I said though, if you want to do something to yourself, go for it.
But companies shouldn’t be allowed to knowingly sell harmful drugs.

Also, all drugs are potentially harmful.
