Do you think that alcohol and tobacco should be regulated?<br>
<br>
If so, Why?<br>
<br>
If you answer yes, it implies that you believe that people<br>
are individually unable to make right decisions for themeselves,<br>
and the people need a nanny state to take care of them.<br>
<br>
It seems reasonable to run experimental societies but <br>
it is tyrannical and immoral to impose experimental ideas on unwilling<br>
masses of the society.<br>
<br>
I suppose that if you answer yes, you might also believe that<br>
the "sin tax" on alcohol and tobacco benefits the government<br>
who needs the money for its programs of social good such <br>
as militarism and the police state, but actually such taxes are<br>
regressive and you ought to think that is not good.<br>

should be regulated like tobacco and alcohol.
