Sorry Rich, you are wrong mate. Drinking in moderation can actually have beneficial effects to your health. You can't really say the same about smoking. Also the reason they want to ban smoking in public places is passive smoking. The smoke of others harms non-smokers, its a fact.
Of course if you drink excessively it is harmful, like most drugs. For example take 2 paracetemol and they get rid of your headache. Take 200 and you will likely die.
