Gambling: libertarian, but it should not be supported by the state (i.e., no lotteries)
Alcohol sales restrictions: libertarian
Tobacco: libertarian
Smoking in public: libertarian
Tobacco advertising: libertarian
Strip clubs: libertarian
Fashion industry (in relation to eating disorders): libertarian
Fashion industry (in relation to "morality"): libertarian
Pornography: authoritarian for "extreme" variants, libertarian for the rest
Prostitution: authoritarian in the sense that it shouldn't be legal, but only the pimps and those who traffick the women should face criminal penalty, not the sex workers.
Fast food: libertarian
Pop sales in high schools: libertarian
School uniforms: personally I am fine with a strict dress code, but I don't support mandated uniforms
Marketing to minors: libertarian
Violence in the media: libertarian
Sex in the media: libertarian unless it falls under the pornography category mentioned above

- Apathetic about guns

- Libertarian on suburbs in the sense that I oppose zoning laws, parking minimums, federal funding that incentivizes single-family homes only, etc.

- Libertarian on all the others.

Moving from a less dense part of the country to a metropolis with immense suburban sprawl certainly changed my view of the last issue quite a bit.

Libertarian on all of the above. I think we should fund and encourage programs of rehabilitation especially with issues including pornography, prostitution, and gambling, but criminalizing isn't going to disincentive people from doing them.

Guns - libertarian (should be very few restrictions on gun ownership)
Gambling - libertarian (should be legal and loosely regulated)
Alcohol sales restrictions - libertarian (should be legal everywhere, age lowered, and loosely regulated)
Tobacco - libertarian (not a fan but should be legal at 18)
Smoking in public - libertarian (especially nowadays when a lot of private residences restrict it, where else is there to go?)
Tobacco advertising - authoritarian (but I'd lean that direction regarding all forms of advertising)
Strip clubs - libertarian
Fashion industry - unsure what the dividing line is here
Pornography - libertarian (doesn't mean it's not a bad idea to consume/watch it excessively)
Prostitution - libertarian (should be legal but it is exploitative, just not a fan of criminal penalties for it)
Fast food - libertarian
Pop sales in high schools - libertarian
School uniforms - libertarian (dress codes should be fairly minimal just reasonably covered up)
Marketing to minors - libertarian (for the most part)
Violence in the media - libertarian (should be unregulated)
Sex in the media - libertarian
Profanity in the media - libertarian (should be unregulated)
Suburban development - unsure
