best you can do is educate

That’s literally what he’s proposing. Warning labels are literally designed to provide information to consumers.

great idea genius. “do not eat the forbidden fruit” has worked soooo well from the beginning of time until now.

Smoking rates have been cut by over 75% from their peak in the 70s

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.
