And so are tobacco and so alcohol.  The question is whether one
believes in freedom or Uncle Nanny.   What will Uncle Nanny 
decide is dangerous next?  Fatty foods?  McBurgers?  Ice cream?
All can be addictive and high consumption over long periods of
time likely shorten one's life....  

Oh, and how about other things people do for a thrill that are
dangerous?  Can Uncle Nanny allow that?   You want to ban 
bunji jumping?  sky diving? motorcycle racing?   Hmmm, what
else? 

Me, I would prefer to have individual freedom and individual
responsibility in a free market, and I would respect your 
freedom to live your way.  Do we have a deal?
