I want to ban coffee.  It makes people nervous, and probably
causes dozens of deaths a year -- as many deaths as cycling, no
doubt.  I don't care if you like coffee, or if it's safer than
other parts of your diet, that's the one thing I choose to
oppose, and if it saves even one life you can't argue with me
because I'll hold my breath until I turn blue.
