Nope. That's the job of people who've worked their entire lives studying how to prolong our lifespan and improve our health; and those people advise the people we trust the most to guide our work, safety and consumer products regulations.
"Mom and dad have too many rules" was kinda lame when it was about wearing a toque. You need to understand it better by now.
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.
Fuck my lifespan and my health if it means my body isn't my own to rule. Is anyone gonna argue with "my body my rules"? I'm feeling a little rapey.
