In my opinion, this the best type of argument for a liberal, free society that is possible within a utilitarian moral framework. Generally speaking, each person is best aware of their own context and can choose best for themselves how to take care of themselves and those in their family. I'm not arguing against regulatory oversight of the free market - the FDA should exist. But there's a lot of talk about "harm reduction" and even "nudging" or "shaping" of society that I think needs to go away. I'm fine with billboards being banned (along with corporate lobbyism); but don't tell me I can't buy something because some other people could hurt themselves with it if they use it in the wrong way.
