In fairness, cigarettes contain known carcinogens. You are ripping apart your DNA with every dart. Can the same be said for having a few drinks a week?

I say this as someone who's never taken a single drag or had even a drop of alcohol (cooking notwithstanding).

Right. It's a question of where the threshold is before we consider something dangerous enough to warrant a warning.

That would require actual science and research instead of regurgitating the same debunked data study 20 times a year for government propaganda dollars though...

People should be informed about the carcinogens in meat too.

Plant-based foods also can create acrylamide (carcinogenic) when they are cooked at high temperatures.

People should be informed of that too. I'd bet more people eat meat thinking it's healthy then eat french fries thinking it's healthy. Let people make informed choices for themselves. You can't do that if you don't have the information.
