Is caffeine really addictive? Comparatively to nicotine? I find issue in selling addictive products, not in terms of health, but just financial abuse. Like Casinos, micro-transactions in games, etc. The buyer is drugged by your product to need to buy more of it. There's definitly a bit of a moral dilemma here.
- morpheuskafka 8y agoAgreed--I'd argue that a physically harmless, pleasure causing, addictive product is inherently worth of regulation. Dependence (use without truly wanting to) and abuse (use despite harm--which can arguably include financial harm even with no physiological affects) are the criteria for a substance use disorder which is in itself a medical diagnosis. Products that serve no useful purpose and readily lead to the development of use disorders should not be sold.
