IMO, all cigarettes should have cyanide added to them to reduce the costs to society by speeding-up the slow suicide and excess harm to others.



should all diesel cars have lead fumes pumped into the cockpit? Should all alcoholic drinks contain methanol?


Frivolous response.

Diesel vehicles are extremely hazardous causing great harm to millions but go under regulated because of money. ICEs should die.

Alcoholic drinks don't directly harm anyone else in their consumption and the QALY/micromorts involved are small.

no need to label other people's comments as rude.

Also, the suggestion to make products more deadly so that they are used less seems like bad policy. Reduction of harms usually does not mean killing the patient.
