One can avoid air pollution also by not breathing, STDs by not having sex and
automobile accidents by never leaving your home.

People could avoid ladder accidents by never climbing a ladder, bath falls by
never bathing, etc., etc., etc.

The upshot, though, is that as long as someone doesn't impact someone else
negatively against their will, whether or not they breathe, have sex, climb
ladders, or ingest substances you don't approve of -- IT IS NONE OF YOUR DAMN
BUSINESS!

"Once the realization is accepted that even between the closest human beings
 infinite distances continue to exist, a wonderful living side by side can
 grow up, if they succeed in loving the distance between them which makes it
 possible for each to see each other whole against the sky."
