If you knew your arse from your elbow and weren't trying to be such a smart arse, you'd realise that the references to drinking were made in an attempt to point out the effects that alcohol have on the community. Surely, if tobacco is such an evil in our society, then the evils perpetrated through the abuse of alcohol should be addressed next by the government, or do you think that that would an abuse of our personal freedoms?

I'm a non-smoker as well, by the way but one who worries about the erosion of our personal freedoms and also a little disturbed at the juvenile taunting by some of the anti-smoking lobby here.
