Thanks to readers who pointed out a typo in the first version. It now reads, "wear shoes with thick soles."

I look forward to The Safe Smoking Kit - Classic version. You know, the one that helps nicotine addicts.

The government should never be in the business of approving, providing relief for, or in any way giving encouragement to our worst instincts "for our own good." There always turns out to be too much benefit to government and too little to those being helped from such efforts and often a positive loss to innocent bystanders.

I'll put up with benign neglect but can never agree that people who reject such behavior should have to subsidize those who do not and their enablers.

Harm reduction only works when it also reduces the harm to society. Not the case here.
