Disagree mate. Other standard arguments from smokers over the years like "I might get hit by a bus tomorrow" blah, blah etc. What about all the other poor coonts who have to breathe the sh1t in? Drinking is different. Unless you turn into a nowty coont and want to knock 7 bells out of some other fecker, how does your drinking affect the health of others?
The 'poorest' angle can be countered too. My aunt worked for Imperial Tobacco at a very high level (flash London office in a high rise; multi million pound estate in Amersham; toured the world flying Concorde where possible; E type Jag V12; 5 star existence all the way). Died at 52 years old, riddled with tumours due to all the free cancer sticks which came with the job.
I have lost count of the relatives, friends and workmates who, as former heavy smokers, have become the most violent anti smokers at the news they have some form of the big C. Only heard similar story from sister in law in Bolton last week. 50 a day down to zero and forced husband to quit similar habit after getting the dreaded news.
