adjectives - How to Make a Parallel Structure when a Same-Class word is Not Found?

I want to make a sentence, adequately using parallel structures, and can't find a way for that. I couldn't find an adjective for tobacco-relative, like I have for alcohol and automotive, in the following list:




tobacco, alcoholic and automotive goods




In a way I could write a phrase:




The new tax applies to tobacco, alcoholic and automotive goods.





Is there any way to make sentences like this parallel?



*Edited: I think the way I framed the question people would understand it as three different nouns; when I was actually meaning three different adjectives for goods. This is why I have provided an example phrase.
