Could one make a similar argument for banning sugar?

  One could, but it would be a much harder sell politically. The pro-smoking voting block is much smaller than the tasty-food voting block.

  Sure, except sugar in itself isn’t bad. It’s products with excessive quantities of sugar. Various laws restrict those, including the promotion to children: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/restricting-promotions-of-products-high-in-fat-sugar-or-salt-by-location-and-by-volume-price/restricting-promotions-of-products-high-in-fat-sugar-or-salt-by-location-and-by-volume-price-implementation-guidance https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/restricting-promo...

  Of course. The government has bought and paid for your health. It is only by the gracious largess that we have been allowed sugar at all.
