The same argument could be made for alcohol, cigarettes, credit cards, luxury goods, lottery tickets, tattoos...

If you banned everything that some percent of the population could use to harm themselves, you might be disappointed by what's left.

Tattoos can be extremely expensive; I personally know many people who struggle financially and spend what's left on tattoos.

It sounds ridiculous, but so does blowing lots of money on sports betting.
