We already regulate dangerous, addictive products like cigarettes. Why not regulate dangerous, addictive products like potato chips or soft drinks?

But that’s the point: your choices are food products that are allowed under regulations.

People are dragging out this paranoid fantasy where Uncle Sam is literally spoon feeding you.

When tacitly he’s enabling you to spoon feed yourself his choices.

People seem really convinced the next step is a government assigned personal health manager.

We don't really regulate the number of cigs that someone can smoke a day.
