The government can't make stupidity illegal. But if banning it means not spending taxpayer money to clean up some dumbass kid's dead carcass, then I'm all for it. Stupid people don't need help to be more stupid. And I consider ingorance of ingestion to be stupidity. To Jake's point, the FDA is around to help protect us from dangerous substances.
If you are young and want to be dumb, go ahead. Just don't take money from my pocket, directly or not. Cigarettes aren't banned because of how entwined the companies are with other businesses. Kind of like a big tumor intertwined around your spinal column.
I am surprised that you even blink at this, Matt. Seeing as how your other hobby is regulated like this all of the time.
