Alcohol is legislatively regulated by requiring labels on the box and limiting age of consumption. Tobacco has legislation of the same, as well as advertisements.
Should nicotine be _more_ regulated than that?
- trcollinson 7y agoPotentially. What would be the harm in further regulation? I feel there is no benefit to a lack of regulation. But that's just my opinion. If my legislators were to ask me if I thought we should have more regulation on nicotine advertisement, I would say yes. Which is what we have legislators for.
- t-writescode 7y ago> What would be the harm in further regulation? I generally err on the side of freedom, even if it's potentially self-harming once someone's an adult. Would adding more law around advertising be too much? I don't think so. Labels on packaging? Sure. Should we make it illegal altogether, or make non-bland flavors illegal, like some states have done? No. I think that's a bridge too far.
