10. Neither
Second hand smoke kills nobody and drunk driving is not nearly the killer it is made out to be. That "40% of highway deaths are alcohol related" stat you always hear is based on highly dubious methodology. All it means is that someone involved in a fatal wreck had alcohol in their system. That someone could be a passenger, pedestrian, or a driver that had one beer prior to getting in the car. Yet they all get lumped into the number so that the cash cow that is drunk driving enforcement can continue.

Flame away if you want but I had an ex who was a cop. He said he worked the DUI team for several years and came to the conclusion that it was mostly a big old revenue generating scam.
