Looking at that cartoon just infuriates me.
After what I've been through this past week directly related to the abuse of alcohol I see alcohol as the demon,not cigarettes.

Eric Laverriere, 25, of Portland, Maine, was taken into protective custody by Waltham police and locked in a cell for nine hours until the effects of the alcohol wore off.
Legal experts said his lawsuit, filed this week in U.S. District Court in Boston, is the first to challenge a state law allowing police to lock up drunk people against their will.

I've told it here before, Mears-my stepfather,who was an alcoholic-and stayed sober for not quite 50 years before dying a year ago, said to me more than once-" I don't get why they're demonizing smokers in this country. Never have understood it. Alcohol is the worst & most-abused drug in this country. Always has been, always will be."
