Reply to comment by Mordcrest in Is there a consensus among the medical community on the treatment of preteen and teens that have gender dismorphia? by MayorBobbleDunary
It's a cost/benefit thing. There's no benefit to a teen smoking, drinking alcohol, gambling, etc. and no professionals trained to assess which teens are and aren't mature enough to make decisions about those things. This would be better compared to other medical treatments than to things that have no benefit other than personal enjoyment and no professional oversight. Teenagers are often allowed input on their medical treatment.
