No smoking: Historic vote could bring new limits

Well I guess Alcohol does not kill any one at all or cost to medical insurance to go up. I guess as of today, these 5,760 alcohol related deaths don’t count as unhealthy.

You will never see them do any thing about alcohol, because they can not go one day with out having a drink or two or more.
