None of these are contagious. If you can't see the difference, I can't help you.

Low taxes on tobacco in the southern states and illegal weed. That's all I got.

To add to your argument, most restaurants and bars did away with smoking indoors due to second hand smoke effecting others that didn’t smoke. So in effect, smoking has been curbed.

Because people are generally lazy and these are things that kill you over a long period of time, not a contagious disease that can kill you within a few weeks.

No, but they are directly linked to hospitalizations and death if you get covid. If you don’t believe that science, I can’t help you.

Yes the difference is the former are very easily stopped, it us literally impossible to stop a respiratory virus with an animal reservoir.
Science is the science, sorry you're too low IQ to get it.

Because that doesn't give power to governments and it takes away profits from major corporations. Simple answer.

Smoking is way down, at least. 
Obesity is a more serious threat to the long term health of Americans than covid.

They aren't contagious in the viral sense - but laziness is addictive, fat parents usually raise fat kids, etc.
Do you agree that society, culture and economics would all be better off if we actively tried to curb obesity, smoking, alcohol and drug use?

I am sure their lobbyists really want us to stop buying those items … and the average American is a fricking moron.
