Why won’t they go after the real killer, alcohol? How many people are killed by drunk drivers every year? How many die of alcohol related illnesses? When you smoke, generally you aren’t hurting anyone but yourself. If you drink, you have the potential to hurt or kill an innocent family when you jump in the car to drive home from the bar.

Tried that once with disastrous consequences.

I think that fat people should be banned. They can't properly operate a vehicle, they spread their condition through peer pressure, they intrude on other people's private space,they kill or inconvenience other people in a thousand ways and they do nothing to contribute to the general health and wellbeing of the masses.

That’s the argument against smoking. I wish people would stop smoking and watch their health and weight, but it’s a free country, or used to be. I’ve been strongly against alcohol since to me, that seems to be the bigger problem. In the town I live in, a man freshly home from Afghanistan, was driving home from Walmart with his wife and baby. Baby was in a carseat in the back seat. They were hit head on by a drunk driver. Knowing some of the first responders, I found out that the family was hit so hard that the baby, still strapped in her seat, had her brains coming out of her nose. We also had a mom and her daughter killed by a drunk driver recently. I don’t think smokers or fat people are known to do that sort of damage to other people and their loved ones.
