You can't compare apples and oranges percentages. If drunk driving accidents went from 13 to 8 incidents (62% drop), but the 10% increase in heavy drinking is applied to 10,000,000 people, then the negative health effects could outweigh the accidents by a huge amount. I think your key words are, "seems small by comparison". You'd have to know the actual numbers.

But this is America, and self-harm is a fiercely protected liberty. Harming others is not.

If we could put half of the energy we put into policing other people's vices into policing Corporate vices, think of what we could achieve.
