And if the cigarette companies advertise to the kids? And the second hand smoke is everywhere (everyone else using them) and are almost ubiquitous now? Such that the only way around that is to cut those kids off from society? I agree with you on parenting, but I won't, for a second, let these companies off the hook for the damage they cause. Give them an inch, they'll take your entire soul if they can and it will help their quarterly P&L. Don't forget it.

> And if the cigarette companies advertise to the kids? It's illegal. Tiktok, Facebook, ... nonsense on the other hand isn't, because these platforms aren't responsible for the content they broadcast, by regulation. So should these regulations change?

  Of course, I know it's illegal. I'm using the comparison to highlight it. It's as if we're allowing cigarette companies to be all pervasive through general access and direct advertising to our kids, and then saying: "but the parents shouldn't let them smoke, man, they're not responsible parents". I think that's unfair at this stage. Yes, perhaps regulation needs to change.
