I can think of local brewers and stuff that do it as a hobby, and just happened to take a chance to start doing it professionally. I don't think these people are evil at all, they're just trying to have fun with their interest (albeit one that isn't great for your health) and make some money while doing so.

Can't really say the same thing for tobacco. I'm sure in some places there may be a similar kind thing though, so that's just a thought from my local perspective. All I know are big corporate brands for smoking.

Edit: just to add onto this... I absolutely think we should include ingredients, nutritional facts, and warnings on alcohol still. Just my 2 cents about one being more evil than the other by a landslide.
