This arouses the libertarian streak I have. Where should we draw the line on government micromanaging us personally? The government is welcome to stay out of my bedroom and stay out of my diet.

I’m not very big on using taxation as a means to control behavior, but I don’t think that’s what sin taxes end up doing anyways. If a person wants it enough, they’ll pay extra to get it, and I think that’s what the government is tapping into more than trying to control our “sin”.
