So is sugar. Would you ban that? People have agency and choice

discuss

order

You don't ban people from consuming sugar, you ban companies from mass-producing food with unhealthy amounts of it. It's about friction and incentives. If you want to buy a bag of sugar and bake a cake that's fine.

Consistency is overrated. Ban gambling

shades of grey and tradeoffs. gambling has a very clear and well studied negative effect on a small but sizeable percent of people and its not that great for everyone else. its my opinion were better off without it

Absolutely regulate sugary drinks like cigarettes

I do think sugar should be regulated more and probably excised taxed, but banning is a different thing altogether
