Not everyone admits that they smoke.

Still, this is not the argument because, if any of us did adopt out and we knew the applicants had a drink or drugs problem, we certainly would not adopt out to them. Not knowing they have a problem with drink or drugs doesn't make us hypocrits, it makes us unaware that they have a problem with drink or drugs. Those on drugs are often noticeable because drugs do have an affect on people that others can notice such as gaunt face, dirty appearance, not much in the way of wit or intellect because half their brain cells have been destroyed by the crap they take...they often shake and walk funny too.

The problem with drink and drugs is that they can make the user less able to take proper care of the animal or even cause the user to cause harm to the animal themselves. With smoking, the animals are breathing in the smoke which can harm them....even if their owner otherwise takes good care of them, if they smoke indoors and the dog breathes it in, every breath is causing potential damage whether that smoking owner likes it or not.
