That’s literally what he’s proposing. Warning labels are literally designed to provide information to consumers.
Smoking rates have been cut by over 75% from their peak in the 70s
Cuz all those smokers died lol. Now every kidI know vapes. Weed and tobacco.
i’m glad you also think a warning label on instatwitbooktok is going to accomplish anything. i guess we can look forward to no more social media addiction/bullying/suicides soon
The point is to reduce these things, not eliminate them. Your cynicism is misguided given the very real example where this already worked.
ok. the urge to smoke cigarettes is not something all humans develop as they age, the way we develop the psychological need to “belong” and be popular with the in-crowd. but yea, keep thinking the solution to the cigarette problem will also be the solution to the 100% unrelated social problem
Why are you talking like you know things? It’s not convincing.
lol are you trying to say that the basic knowledge that humans (primates, really) have an inherent urge to be included and well regarded by their peers is wrong? the perceived lack of which is causing all these social media problems in the first place? or are you just saying i’m wrong because i said something?
I love it when people think they’re omnipotent
