Nugent has a steak of nanny-statism in him. Tobacco use kills more people than anything? Dope kills? Hey Ted - if people want to smoke or shoot themselves up it's none of your business, OK?

Plus Ted has dropped the N bomb a few times.

Why do you assume that Ted speaking his mind about these problems suggests that he wants government to intrude into people’s lives?

Ted also expresses a preference for guitars over keyboards. Do you conclude that he would propose a keyboard tax (or ban)?

It’s their business if they want to shoot up, but it’s not their business if they want to steel to support their right!

He didn’t say the government should do anything about those.
Just because someone thinks an activity is dumb/stupid/dangerous doesn’t mean they think it should be outlawed.

I didn't see him say anything about banning tobacco or drugs. Just that they cost lives.

Nothing "nanny-statist" about that.

Can you deny it, or are these, as Ted plainly states at the beginning of this editorial piece, facts proven by empirical edidence?

Nanny-statism? Nope.
Steak? Most likely.

Bet he killed it himself, too.
