I was very surprised to see how many US states ban first cousin marriages. Why is that?

It is uncommon here in the UK but not something that would be cause for any concern. The scientific evidence suggests that it is a very marginal risk factor, less so than smoking or drinking. So, why is the USA so adverse to it.
