  Nobody needs to drink alcohol but somehow you seem to think that alcohol is somehow exempt from the affect it has on others because YOU like to have a drink. I expect you won't be calling for restrictions on the display of alcohol any time soon.
  The same can be said of car travel. Millions of people don't need to drive a car but do and cause immeasurable suffering through pollution and accidents. How about banning uneccessary journeys and making car showrooms whitewash their windows so that we don't see these evil iron leviathans?
  Nobody needs chocolate and sweets to live but we have to protect citizens from themselves just as you suggest we have to protect citizens from the perils of smoking.
  As for the perils of cancer and heart attacks that's my business and nobody else's really.
  For a conservative libertarian there is a certain element of liberalist socialism in your arguments.
