I was haunted by the end of a movie I saw as a child but for years, I never that that movie was.

I was watching a TV movie in the 1970s when my parents made me go to bed. I have tried to figure out the name for years.

It was based in a big city like New York. Some type of contagious condition started going around that caused people to give up smoking, drinking and other bad habits. The politicians had to find a cure because the reduction in tax revenues from sin taxes was making the government go bankrupt.

It was a comedy; no one I have spoken with has ever recognized the description.
