What if you're a coke or heroin addict? If you're still able to support your family, and it's not causing you any financial trouble, what's the fuss? Well, Bennett would find quite a fuss in that.

Nice straw man argument. You must be a libertarian. You compare a legal pasttime, that has no health implications, to an activity that is illegal and can cause many health problems, including death. Using this false analogy, you try to justify the activity with real legal and moral implications. But it doesn't wash.
