RRH you're points have merit but parsing my argument only serves to obscure the larger issue. Far more clever people than me use that tactic to whittle away at and/or rationalize limits on our fundamental rights. It’s the basic struggle for individual liberty that people like you and I have been fighting 230 years for. Would I be healthier if the gov’t. outlawed smoking tomorrow? Yes, but how long before that path would lead to laws limiting my other rights?
