    Alcohol is bad for you too. Are you going to ban that? Marijuana cigarettes also contain tar. Ban those too? Excessive screen time is unhealthy. Go after that next?

    The government has no place as the arbiter of what unhealthy habits are legal. The government works under a philosophy of incrementalism. If you task them with making unhealthy behaviors illegal, then you’re embarking on a road to outright fascism.

      I wish they did. My father died of alcoholism.
