Addiction would be exploited with companies doing whatever they can to get customers hooked on an addictive substance (see Tobacco). And Tobacco isn't the worst of it, you don't think a heroin company would be sticking everybody they can find with needles to get everyone they possibly could be addicted? Of course they would.

That would be an attack against property (body). Therefore it would be illegal. Don’t you think people would defend themselves against weirdos sticking needles into them?

Alright fair enough. But cigarettes are not an attack against property. They are a delivery mechanism for an addictive and harmful substance. I have no doubt that similar delivery mechanisms would be developed for equally as addictive drugs (or more addictive) that could have even worse effects. Such as putting these drugs into common good items. Even more scary, would be drugs that would allow mass brainwashing or things like that.
Advertising is currently regulated. Do you want to see subliminal advertising re-introduced?
I'll address some of your other points later when I get the chance.
