Real irony found in our ban obsessions

Drunk drivers are responsible for more than 1.4 million serious injuries and 15,000-plus deaths every year. It has become the No. 1 killer of teens and young adults.

And yet we ban smoking in bars because some (not all) studies suggest second-hand smoke could possibly cause lung cancer and other respiratory problems.

Does anyone but me see the irony in all this?
