Tobacco is certainly a health risk, to the user, and fairly new to humans, 1500's is when it was brought to Europe
Alcohol on the other hand has been around much longer, and has a far greater effect on human health, for the user, and for those around the user, i.e. fights(family violence), stabbings, shootings and, of course, drunk driving in recent times
When someone has a smoke they risk their life(second hand smoke is a popular MYTH, never been even one documented case, just FYI), and only their life
When someone has a drink they risk everyone else's life, along with their own
Not condoning smoking or drinking, but it is what it is
Just making the point that drinking Clorox or having a smoke might prevent you getting covid-19

According to "heath experts", like me and Trump
