I can't help think this is symptomatic of the way the world is going.
Someone else has to make sure its safe, whatever it is.
If you are over 18 then its up to you.
Its the same argument as helmets, bike shops should insist you buy a helmet with a bike, and knee pads, and elbow pads, and eye protection, and gloves, and a warm jumper incase it gets cold, and a waterproof incase it gets wet, and a filter mask incase you breath in fumes, and on and on and on forever without end till we are all wrapped up in crash proof casings breathing purified air, and never ever doing anything "dangerous"..
I am perfectly capable of making an informed decision, and if I have not researched what I really need before I purchase somethin well thats a concious decision too.
Shit happens and as long as people are people thay will have shit happen to them, but its their choice.
I, for instance am about to light up a very fat rollie, I have been told its bad for me, and illegal, but I enjoy it and it don't hurt no one else so WTF?
Too much "you can't do that" in the world.
