I think another difference between heroin and sugar might be how the addiction sets in. Sugar seems to me more insidious, in that at first it doesn't really make you feel all that great. But there's a convenience factor. Sugary foods are usually "easy to eat", they're "right there". In this, I would argue this addiction gets built up over time. Now I've never tried heroin, but from what I understand the effects are much more pleasant in and of themselves. Addiction sets in much more quickly. All this is to say that maybe banning sugar would work. If the convenience factor goes out, and if there's no "wow factor" to trying it, there's much less potential for abuse and for addiction.
