  > I’d say that leaving kids in a an environment of addictive substances (say, cigarettes?) is a great way to get them addicted. Just as with social media, my general impression/experience is that people who were kept away from addictive substances (cigarettes/alcohol/coffee/...) growing up tend to be more likely to have problems with them in later life than people who had them around when they were growing up. (There are specific health reasons to keep particular substances away from young children, but that's a distinct thing).

    With smoking it actually helps prevent children from acquiring the addiction if they grow up in a society where people rarely smoke. Denormalization of smoking has been proven to work.
