Just because you've done something with clearly demonstrable problems without encountering the rare but serious issue with it does not mean the rest of society

Just because you've done something with clearly demonstrable problems without encountering the rare but serious issue with it does not mean the rest of society has to be ok with it. The attitude "if something is rare enough that I don't personally see a problem means there IS no problem" is dumb in a country with 300 million people or a world with 9 billion people. Like smoking: most people who smoke don't get lung cancer. But the risk increases enough that it ends up costing the public coffers quite a lot of money. Thus it is within the remit and interest of the public to curtail smoking, even if your grandmother smoked every day of her life till she died at 100 in a bungie jumping accident. It is one thing to believe that it would be better to have libertarian system that let you personally take the risk of drinking raw milk. But its dumb to call the regulation totalitarian.
