This points out the subjective failures of science, IMO. Just because there's no evidence for something doesn't mean it won't make you happy. Obviously if there are health issues it should be addressed, but this seems to be more motivated by a personal vendetta than science.
If something makes you happy and improves your quality of life, why not do it as long as the positives outweigh the negatives? You could argue that the products are all psychological if you want, and that doesn't make them any less useful. Possibly more so.
Science is about reducing uncertainty. It is not about suppressing hobbies that seem offensive or weird.
