“We’ve taken similar steps with other products. Cigarette companies and liquor manufacturers can’t market their products using cartoon characters, for example, and cigarettes can’t be sold in flavors that appeal to children, like strawberry or chocolate.

Amendment IX The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people.
