But it’s not a call for coercion.

People can’t be trusted to make decisions for themselves because cigarettes / alcohol / social media / sugar / pornography is addictive. And since their bad choices have negative consequences on third parties because of health care costs / bad politics / family breakdown, we should get to tell them what to do.

So you're against age limits on alcohol purchases? You're against banning or limiting advertising tobacco products in public spaces?

I’m against treating adults like children, but I’m ok with treating children like children.

Exactly.

I consider social media to be largely harmful, but so is beer and soda. Life is too short to be angry about what others chose to do.
