Alcohol is dangerous. It kills tens of thousands of people every year. Should its use by adults be prohibited? That didn't work out so well last time.

Traveling by car is also dangerous, partially because of the number of drivers distracted by their phones on the road these days. Should the use of smartphones by citizens be prohibited? A total of 37,461 people died in motor vehicle crashes in 2016. The U.S. Department of Transportation's most recent estimate of the annual economic cost of crashes is $242 billion dollars. Or maybe we should just outlaw cars themselves?

Laundry pods can be fatal for adults with dementia and have killed at least elderly people, along with poisoning thousands of children.

Cigarettes kill nearly half a million people every year. Should those be illegal for adults to use?

Heart attacks kill over 600,000 people a year in the US. Should we make it illegal to have a poor diet? Maybe make Big Macs illegal? Force people to go for a walk now then?

Of course not, because no one should tell responsible adults in the land of the free what they can and can't do with their bodies in the privacy of their own homes.
