Great quote and idea, but it’s been tried before and only Al Capone and Joe Kennedy really benefitted from it!
Fat is next - you watch. Fat is a health risk, doncha know and thereby gives the government the cover (oh the increase in Health Costs for Fat people).
unfortunately, for the savings to the health care systems, alcohol does cause more damage and longer term damage than even cigarrettes - and no I don’t remember where I read it - I was in the middle of quitting drinking when a doctor and several nurses told me that.

Yup- today the smoking Nazis, tomorrow it’ll be the fat Nazis.

Imagine: “Surgeon General Richard Simmons”

*YIKES!*
