Just ban advertising of drugs then. In Canada, cigarette ads are banned for example.
- jackpeterfletch 7y agoSame in the UK. But, its taken 100 years of legislation to get there, in the meantime, cigarette companies have funded research that claims their product isnt dangerous, and targeted children, etc etc. Opiods are a whole different game. Combine that with teams of data scientists trying to boost addictions. I could even see blends being developed that meant you couldent easily switch to a competitors drugs.
