Smokers weren’t first. Just ask the DEA.

This is the paradigm we’ve all agreed to: If something can be shown to be “bad enough” for you, then the Government can step in, either with taxes, regulation, or outright Prohibition. Again, this is what we all agree is the Government’s role.

It’s like the old joke: We already know what we are, now we’re just haggling over the details.
