This is such a straw-man argument it's absurd.
Honestly, this is basically the goverment stepping in and saying people aren't responsible enough to make their own decisions. Ergo, they take mind bogglingly stupid measures to ensure we, as consumers, aren't ensnared by the HORRORS OF TOBACCO.

Don't deny that 300 calorie and 82g of sugar donut and 4 sugar 2 cream coffee isn't contributing to the cellulite and diabetes epidemic.
Why does no one want to ban Timmy's? (See? I can do straw mans too!)
