Ice cream isn't comparably addictive and unhealthy to beer and cigarettes. C'mon.

But yes, I also believe the poor are equally deserving to enjoy a beer or a cigarette as the rich. I also think both the poor and the rich should be helped out of alcoholism or cigarette addiction, of course, when such issues arise. But I really don't see why the poor should be given so much moral scrutiny over every little pleasurable indulgence that no one questions the right of the rich to access as they choose.
