I don't see any point in throwing around names that have no point to it. What's done is done, but the fact is that neither smoking or drinking are in any way related to each other. They are totally unique in their own rights. If in fact drinking causes as much damage as smoking then obviously there is something amiss in the way the government has chosen to go. I am nothing more than an advocate for those who want to stop smoking, I wouldn't know about the alcohol side of things.

Well I am an 'addiction speacialist' having a medical background and working at CADs for many years and I don't think it is hypocritical at all. Smoking no matter how minor does damage - however social or 'non problematic' drinking does not - hence dichtocomy.
