Most of the tobacco deaths occur to a smoker. Drunk drivers kill others. Killing others is not a 'nuisance'.

If they seriously want to stop DUI, why not place breathalizers at every bar? You don't get your car keys back until you blow < 0.8 or whatever the legal limit is in your area.

Bars can offer that service if they want. OTOH if the police wants, they can put a checkpoint just outside the bar and give an alcohol test to anyone leaving with a car. Legislating that bars need to do this is a
bad idea and I'm prepared to taunt anyone who stands for it.
