    Trash take. The “bad decision” in this case is severely detrimental health effects, including painful forms of death, that put a tax burden on the rest of the general public with increased health care costs.

      No u. The “bad decision” resulting in “honk and blarg [Variables for generic bullshittery]” is moot, the decision to imbibe in a substance is the decision of the imbiber alone, you are not their daddy, you have no authority to decide what is “in their best interest.”

      Also, that whole “The NHS is an excuse for the government to further intrude on bodily autonomy, something which they seem more than willing to do with this abortion horseshit, as well as fingerprints not being covered by the 1a, not having the ability to do drugs unapproved by the state (the ones they sell are fine though, want a drink?), etc” thing is something I haven’t thought about before. “Higher taxes” is one thing, but tbh I don’t want free healthcare that comes at the price of more of my civil liberties.
