Currently seatbelts are mandatory while it's legal to buy/sell cigarettes.One argument for seat belts is that driver might lose control after even minor injuries. One argument against smoking is:
Either:
1) Allow us to make poor decisions that may end up killing us by removing all laws that require one to wear a seatbelt and permitting people to freely buy/sell cigarettes
OR
2) Forbid us from making poor life/death decisions by requiring people to wear seatbelts and banning the sale of cigarettes.
Why is there a double standard with respect to these 2 issues?
God thinks it's fun to confuse primates. Larsen's God!
