So in order of strain on the NHS it's
Fast/Junk Food
Cigarettes
Alcohol
Yet oddly enough only one of the above is consistently targeted with raised tax increases.
Surely (and this isn't aimed at you directly) if you're argument is to alleviate the pressure on the NHS then all three of the above should be treat the same ways in terms of restrictions/marketing etc.

On your list only cigarettes will kill you when used correctly

Australians are ditching cigarettes at record levels, with the latest quarterly figures from the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) showing a fall of nearly 3% in tobacco consumption.
The seasonally-adjusted figures for the December quarter show a 2.9% fall in consumption, contributing to a 12.2% yearly fall from December 2013 to December 2014.
Labor attributes the decline in smoking to its plain packaging legislation, which saw all branding removed from cigarette packs from December 2012.
