Actually the argument is exactly the same- it's a better product in its 
application than the alternatives.

And yet no one has shown this mythical health benefit.  You can't show dead 
people from the countries that use it, nor can you show them from this 
country before it was banned.  Given its widespread use, if it was a problem 
there would be a large number of casualties.  There aren't and it isn't.

Tylenol causes death.  But you don't seem eager to ban it.
