Yep, the orthodox libertarian position would be "It's your funeral, sucker." I'm not one of those wackos who thinks we can do without the FDA, however. Letting trial lawyers sue the living hell out of Big Tobacco seems to have had a salutary effect on company's willingness to go on denying the toxic effects of their products, but I'm not happy with where the money from the settlements ended up: Half in the pockets of those same trial lawyers, the other half for state governments to squander during the salad days of the 90s.
