No, because that's an entirely natural process

So bloody what? Stingray poison is entirely natural, I'm in no hurry to try that. I've tried weaver fish venom, and that's bad enough. There's a huge amount of non-GMO plants that you could eat and would kill or harm you, all as "an entirely natural process".

Contrary to hippy mythology, "natural" does not mean good for you. And "synthetic" doesn't mean bad for you. It all depends what we're talking about, and in this case it's mostly water vapour, glycols, a tiny bit of nicotine and the sort of chemicals that you probably routinely expose yourself to in soaps and shampoos, household cleaning products, sweets and processed foods, perfumes, deodourants and aftershaves, as well as the misleadingly named "air fresheners". Will you be seeking a ban on all those?
