The "side effect" does not have to be direct - you can be exposed to the effects of someone else drinking. Being put at risk by a drunk driver is equivalent to being put at risk from passive smoking (in my opinion).
But there are legal measures in effect to reduce the risk of you being harmed by a drunk driver. Prior to the smoking ban there were no measures aimed at protecting the public from passive smoking.
