i understood what he wrote to have an implicit 'to ensure your good health', as opposed to a moral imperative that you follow the decree of his benevolent authoritarian based decision making.
of course, if you regularly do unhealthy things and drive without a seatbelt and have a heart attack while driving and your still burning cigarette causes the gas fumes to ignite and you end up hurting a lot of people, i request that my insurance rates don't go up due to your lifestyle choices.
and if you arent insured, i request the people that got hurt by those actions are provided medical care by the state/government, and that the driver gets an expensive lesson. it would be sad if the driver has a family and is bankrupted, but someone has to learn from experience, or at least provide an example to others when the driver's costs aren't covered.
but you're cooler than that. you is just you in general, not you as a person.
