The smoking ban is not to protect the health of the smoker, it's for the non smokers. The difference between alcohol and cigarette smoking is you can't get second hand drunk. Drinking only affects the users health and has no bearing on the people around him/her.
You've obviously never had somebody close to you with an alcohol problem. Alcohol, like drug abuse, affects more than just the abuser.
My father died because he was alcoholic so you're first assumption is way off. Now tell me what affects his or anyones drinking directly has on anyone elses health.
If I have to explain this to you, you'll never get it. Anyhoo... your assertion was that drinking doesn't affect anyone but the drinker.
And you are wrong... and if what you stated were true, you would know better.
