No, its an entirely different situation. 1 - Drinking and driving happens on public roads. Drinking in a bar happens in a privately owned establishment. 2 - Drinking and driving puts people around you at much greater risk for massive injury up to and including near immediate death. 2nd hand smoke doesn't greatly increase people's chances of immediately dying. 3 - Drinking and driving exposes the general public to a risk, and furthermore to a risk they are unaware of. Drinking in a bar where smoking is known to occur doesn't impose a risk on anyone except people who willingly assume it.
