Because some people choose to eat/drink in moderation, it's all about choices that I don't want taken away from me.

Because government has yet to find a way to control and tax imports of those substances.

Yes, because it's just that simple isn't it...

We're not all clean-living, god-fearing, Ned Flanders wannabe's LT. Some of us like to make our own choices, and that includes the choices which affect our own health and well-being. I, personally, do not subject my children to any unnecessary health risks, nor do I smoke for that matter. I'm well aware of the dangers of smoking, and I still support the right of adults to smoke in their own car or their own home. If I didn't want to be subjected to second hand smoke, I'd not get in their car. Simple as that.

It's not quite as black/white as you make it out to be, so, do me a favour, and don't patronise me.
