Booze still ok.
A group of 28 U.S. attorneys general is urging chief executive officers of five major retailers, including Walmart, to stop selling tobacco products, saying it is contradictory to carry such items in stores that also provide health care services.

And sugary drinks. Processed foods. Etc etc etc etc.

People SAID that if the government was paying for health care, this kind of shit would be regulated/banned/prohibited/whatever. People for whom their entire identity was based on their political party succeeding cried, "No! That is a slippery slope fallacy!" Yet here we are.

Maybe sporting equipment, too. Too violent.

Don't forget the dangers of prescription medication abuse. They should close down the pharmacies to be safe.

You know how many people get paper cuts every year? No more magazines and books.

More toddlers drown in 5 gallon buckets of water than are killed by accidental gun shootings every year.

Those buckets have to go.

Won't somebody please, think of the children? In short, the UK has made it illegal to someone inside a car with child. Windows don't mean dick, but convertibles are exempt from the rule, as are e-ciggies.
Critics of the new law said it’ll be impossible to enforce.
“If drivers are spotted smoking, will they be stopped in case there’s a child in the back?” Simon Clark, director of the smokers’ lobbying group Forest, told the BBC. “The authorities, especially the police, must have better things to do.”

Yeah, because cops hate using their authority to whack people over the head with insane fines for minor offenses.
