Comparing smoking to bad eating habits:

If it were possible, I would love the government to implement a way to monitor everyone's diet and make sure it was adequate, and that it didn't exceed anything like fat.

That's not possible, though.

Also, the difference between cigarettes and things like fast food is immense, and is laughable people are trying to bring it up. Food serves a purpose; we need to eat. People eat poorly because things like fast food taste better, and it's easier to get. Ideally people would eat healthy. Ideally no one would smoke.

We're trying to make it very hard to smoke. It's expensive, people have to smoke outside, etc. Undoubtedly this has forced some to quit and/or cut back. That's a step in the right direction. I would love to do this with fast food! I think making smoking illegal is a big step somewhere down the line.
