>The fundamental flaw in your argument is that you focus almost exclusively on individual right to the detriment of public good. Who defines what "the public good" is? The same people who argue that rights must be eliminated for "the public good" are the ones who want to pass laws telling grown adults what they are allowed to do behind closed doors. From what plants they want to make illegal for you to grow, to what substances you want to ingest, to preventing you from playing poker with other consenting adults, to what language you must refer to people by - it is fundamentally anti-freedom. >Why does the individual freedom to do whatever you want overrule my individual freedom not to be affected by the externalities of your choices? This is the proper argument to make, and why I'm fine with banning smoking in certain public places, just like I'm fine with restricting a wide variety of other behaviors on public property that adults should otherwise be able to engage in behind closed doors. This is not what the federal government is doing in regard to Juul (or many other cases). They aren't addressing public behavior, they are passing laws and regulations to prevent you from behaving how you wish, on your own property, for your own good. The government shouldn't be in the business of telling consenting adults, at the point of a gun, what behaviors they aren't allowed to engage in behind closed doors.
