Benefits of the Danish transfat ban for coronary heart disease mortality
However smoking is still legal, in Denmark and the US. In the US, tobacco use kills 7x as many as the oft-cited opiate “epidemic”, yet you don’t even need a prescription for cigarettes.Either we need a nanny state, or we don’t.  Pick one and be consistent.Personally I’d prefer the world where we mandate labels and remove all restrictions on sale/distribution/use of chemicals for ingestion, along with HARSH penalties for causing others to ingest your byproducts without consent (ie secondhand smoke).  Let adults make their own decisions (both for what they ingest, as well as how they plan to finance the subsequent healthcare required for bad choices).We have no freedom if we’re not free to make choices that others regard as “bad” (that hurt no one but ourselves).
