Smartphones and candy crush will be our generation's cigarettes. FAANG = Big Tobacco.

  Slightly unrelated to the OP but: I think that in a more prefect world, the legality of parasocial internet use (which smartphones do a great job of enabling and encouraging) should be tied to the legality of cannabis use. Too young? Shouldn't be able to use it. In a public place? It's rude and inconsiderate to those around to start using your phone / smoking; there should be designated areas where it is allowed.

  FAANG isn't making candy crush, or any of these addicting mobile games for that matter

    What a silly comment. McDonalds doesn't make poisonous coca-cola, they just distribute it.

      You think cola is poison?
      • 23B1 3y ago
        You don't?

          In the same way that a slice of cake is poison, sure.

  Tobacco kills 50% of its users. Smartphones and apps do not.

    Tobacco doesn't kill users, cancer kills users. I can apply the same silly pedantry ad infinitum if you like.
