We'll have to disagree. My concern is more about the direction (banning more and more at the federal level) and the righteousness that drives it. Given such justification, there are many vices, addictive ones at that, we can feel good about banning. It's not that precedent doesn't exist, it's more about whether it's the role of the government at the national level to make this type of decision. I was just reading about Wayne Wheeler [0]. He had a negative personal anecdotal experience with alcohol which he successfully used to justify its banning. (edit: sorry, last part was meant to address the anecdote you previously had there, and which many of us have experienced with the harms of smoking by loved ones) 0 - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wayne_Wheeler https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wayne_Wheeler
