Meanwhile actual dangerous things like cigarettes and booze are allowed.

The standard, from what I can tell, is that they've classified trans fats as unsafe at any amount. Basically, any amount of this has a detrimental affect on a person's health.

Alcohol, so far as I'm aware, that's not really true of.

As far as cigarettes go, I'm really not sure how that works.

Cigs are bad for you always. Even one cigarette is bad. 

Heart diseases is a bigger issue, so I understand it. If it's true that trans fats are bad at any dosage then I agree with the ban.

I remember hearing the same thing a while back, so I'm not sure how exactly the regulation works. I know there are very strict and very specific rules for tobacco products, though. It could be that, if companies still want to use trans fats, they'd have to follow similar rules.
