Its to controlling the DESIRE, not controlling the USE.
That's where you are wrong, I'll explain it a little further on.
It's not about being puritanical when it comes to controlling behaviours. The quote is about stop feeding desire. Can you exercise self-control and discipline to enjoy the things in life without them ruling over you.
Bad vices could be poor dietary habits, its only an issue if you are driven by addiction and impulsiveness to continually seek out poor food choices rather than using it as a treat. It's a very narrow mindset if you think the only way to manage vices is by going cold-turkey on anything you believe you can't moderate successfully.
