No, I am not claiming that. I was responding to the remark that
smokers work less hours!

Same applies to alcohol, except in the case of alcohol, it is socially
acceptable, even encouraged! The number of times I've been urged at
parties or gatherings to have a drink when I declined because I don't
drink!
I read somewhere that something like 30% of *all* admissions to
hospital in the UK are alcohol related one way or another!
Best...
