Why We Can't Have Nice ThingsThe War on DrugsIn many cases, the government's attempts at regulating health care markets are complex, convoluted operations—and seeing the consequences of those policies can be tricky. Other times, however, it is very straightforward: the government just says "no." When that happens, it doesn't matter what patients need or what doctors want. In its rush to prevent some people from recreationally using certain drugs or accessing certain treatments, the federal government creates huge roadblocks for patients with legitimate needs and doctors who are only trying to help. That's what happened earlier this year when the Fo...

Citing this article, Stanton Glantz, a tobacco-control activist and retired professor of medicine at the University of California, San Francisco, claimed that not only are there "some carcinogens in e-cigarette aerosol," but "now there is also direct evidence that people who use e-cigarettes are at increased risk of some cancers."

The Reason Rundown With Peter SudermanJacob Sullum: Why Japanese Gun Control Isn't a Model for AmericaLast week, former Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe was assassinated by a lone gunman while giving a political speech. The precise motivation for this horrific killing remains murky, with some reports suggesting the killer was mad about Abe's connections to the Unification Church. But the method has sparked some discussion about violent crime and its causes. That's because Abe was shot with a gun in Japan, a country with some of the strictest gun laws in the developed world. Some analysts have suggested that Abe's killing, however awful, nevertheless highlights the success of Japanese gun...

Next, SCOTUS upholds the right to concealed carry in all 50 states while the Senate passes a bipartisan gun bill that probably wouldn’t have stopped any of our most recent or deadly mass shootings.
