I didn't mean to imply that smoking and drinking were mutually exclusive, nor that one is an alternative to the other. I meant that people would be surprised by seeing these labels on alcohol, and then start to doubt all health-and-safety-related labels, then deduce that cigarettes must not be that bad.

Please note that I think this is poor logic, as I do think alcohol is unhealthy. I merely predict this response from people overall.
