Three issues jump out at me with your comments.

1) A person who drinks alcohol excessively does not harm anyone but his/her self.

2) A person smoking does not damage anyone else's lungs but his/her self. There are laws in effect now that prohibit smoking indoors.

3) A person does not know if he/she is sick if said person is an asymptomatic carrier of the virus. That asymptomatic carrier may very well be infecting others and not even realize he/she may be the cause of someone becoming seriously ill with Covid or even die from it. Who is willing to take that chance? Oh, I think I know!
