How easy it is to restrict other people's behavior by simply passing laws! Oops! Those people might decide to vote.
Well, in a very real way (again WWII) food WAS rationed forcing more people to plant
Victory Gardens and raise rabbits, ducks & chickens to supplement the food they was
being rationed. Also many grew their own, or traded, tobacco and brewed their own booze.
