And beer is not a sin (though neither are cigarettes). But the difference between beer and cigarettes is that even moderate use of cigarettes has adverse heath consequence, while moderate consumption of beer is completely within a healthy lifestyle.

Don't get me wrong, I am opposed to anti-tobacco laws and tobacco taxes, as well, but beer and cigarettes are not in the same category.

It's a sick society. Free condoms for kids, free syringes for homeless junkies, and punish the responsible taxpaying adults who want to enjoy a beer and a smoke in a bar and then go home.
