N2  - Should governments save people from themselves? Do governments have the right to influence citizens' behaviour related to smoking tobacco, eating too much, not saving enough, drinking alcohol, or taking marijuana - or does this create a nanny state, leading to infantilization, demotivation, and breaches in individual autonomy?
