It seems it's the chemical we're putting in ourselves. No government blame needed.
Where does it say that alcohol and tobacco consumption have increased in the time period? In fact for at least one group, as expected, it's decreased as a ranking factor.
So - while it's absolutely true that individuals must take responsibility for their choices, it seems reasonable to associate the increase with trends that have increased - highly processed foods etc. Not alcohol and tobacco.
The criticism of government inaction and lobbying therefore seems a good default position to take.
