I'm not sure we know how much people would smoke and drink in the absence of the taxes...

There is that, but given that those taxes have been in place for a long time and food (and levels of physical exertion in daily life) has changed quite a bit over the last 15 years or so... I'm thinking that an analogy can't really be drawn between a food tax and, say, the existing alcohol tax. Eh, just pretend I didn't say anything.
