I get it - smoking isn't a great habit. But neither is drinking, drinking alcohol has plenty of harmful consequences - not just long term health problems, but instant in some cases - i.e people often make bad choices when they are drunk, drunk people are unpleasant to be around.
Disclaimers -
For those of you who will say 'I only drink half a thumble of wine a night, so it's not the same' - One cigarette a night, or a couple at a weekend - unlikely to do much harm.
For those of you who will say that you have lost somebody to a smoking related illness, I do appreciate how awful that is and I'm sorry for your loss. However, I have lost two family members to drinking related matters, and I do not constantly lecture people who are buying a bottle of wine.
I am not saying it's okay to smoke around children, or to smoke all over people who don't smoke.
I don't have a problem with smoking or drinking, but I find people who judge smokers who have no problem with getting drunk very infuriating.
Okay, so now I'll be flamed.

to be really bloody tired of people getting on their high horses about smoking, whilst drinking their 3rd glass of wine?
