I am US citizen. I am 70 years old. I am a x-smoker. I would like to ask why the gov. doesn't put all the regulations and taxes on alchol products like they do on smoking products? I know that our children are getting into alchol at a younger age as well as smoking. I also know that deaths related to drinking and driving is on the increase. You sure don't hear about traffic deaths related to smoking! But, thousands of deaths related to drinking happen every day. Usually the deaths are people minding their own business and driving down the road. So why doesn't the gov. punish drinkers as well as smokers? If the price of alchol were to rise as fast and as tobacco the gov. could sure make a lot of money there....I don't expect a answer to this, but I submit it anyway...Nancy Gulish
