I don't believe I was making that point at all by saying there are limits. You don't believe that a law that protects a dwarf's dignity by making him give up his job is a ridiculous example of protecting people from something they don't need protecting from? Admitting that there are times when the needs of society outweigh the needs of the individual does not equate with saying there are also times that society has its head up its collective ass. >But a black market can be created for *all* kinds of commerce. Not sure what that has to do with anything, to be honest. Your cigarettes example is a case of the reaction to protecting people from themselves, but it's not quite the same as dealing in used eyeballs.
