I didn't buy the whole 'they grow up and need exposure or they'll get it on their own' because I've heard the same argument for both alcohol and drugs.

Kids these days are not stupid. They'll know when parents are trying to block them from doing something and find a way to do it anyway. However, if it's not blocked, they may not want to do it.
When I was a child, my parents kept the liqueur cabinet in the basement unlocked. I have plenty of access to it if I wanted. I didn't want to. My parents never said no you cannot do that. When parents ban something fromt heir kids, kids will find a way.
