I hate to say it but once the public accepted that the government had the right to prohibit alcohol and then drugs, we asked for this kind of continual encroachment. If they can ban or restrict some things that are bad for you, why not others? Of course, the bureaucrats will never realize that the markets are actually king in almost every society.

I am surprised they have not yet attempted to ban tobacco. The black market folks are just salivating over that prospect.
