indeed, it wont be easy.

There is a huge difference tho between a typical drinker and smoker.

Most people who drink alcohol just do it in leasurely time and in a controlled manner.

The typical smoker cannot stay away from the stuff. Everywhere I have worked, smokers have breaks every hour or so, everyone who smokes in my family struggles to not smoke when I am around (my eyes too sensitive to it), so the difference between the 2 is a gulf. Generally speaking passive smoking affects everyone near a smoker whilst alcohol only harms others in a few cases.
