I see the passion...
The analogy is faulty.

Smoking has no benefit to anyone , not even the smoker. (At most you can reach and say it calms them, or helps them with their nerves.)
Smoking has tremendous costs associated with it, which often times the smoker does not pay for.

Fishing benefits:
fisherman,
the local businesses,
provides a recreational activity,
and even the city/ state governments who collect taxes and fees from us.

When a poor analogy is used it may take away from the very valid points that we need to present to protect our right to fish.
