Here's what I want to know:

5% of all deaths from diseases of the circulatory system are
attributed to alcohol.
I'm in favor of banning the growth and sale of all tobacco products.
Thought you'd like to know that.

Great - that's wonderful that you have an actual opinon on the subject
of smoking.

Now, how about the alcohol?

I'm not in favor of excessive drinking. I am in favor of criminal
penalties for those who drink and drive. As in jail time...for the first
offense.

Sitting in resstaurant next to someone enjoying a drink does not
interfere with my meal. Sitting next to a smoker ruins the meal because
of the stench.

Maryland has banned smoking in restaurants, as have other states.- Hide quoted text -

Well, then if there is a ban in restaurants, your meal isn't ruined by
someone smoking, just like your meal isn't ruined because of someone
having a drink. I have, indeed, had meals ruined by someone drinking
to excess.
