However, I’m clearly obtuse and would welcome clarification.

Prohibition started with booze and didn't work.

Then it went to tobacco and did work.

Now it's coming back to booze but without a constitutional amendment this time, and it is working.

Having nothing else to turn to and ever-insatiable, the prohibitionists are turning to food and travel by private automobile.

We now have "click it or ticket", which is designed to confiscate the automobile, so that leaves.........cheeseburgers.

I forgot the war on some drugs, which falls into the prohibition line with Nixon and has enabled the rest of the confiscations / intrusions.
