Decisions like where people can smoke, making resturants use slightly more expensive oil to get rid of trans-fat, or using tax money to build renewable energy sites?
There are medical results showing that these decisions improved society's health, but I as an individual am pretty powerless to do any of those things on my own if that is the way I decide to live. Businesses didn't want to change, so the government is the only other way to get things done.
