I don't think I'm comfortable with the idea that kids will just get addicted to things and that's that.

  You don't have to be comfortable with it, but you do have to accept reality at some point. If you can come up with a solution that isn't worse than the problem, I'm all ears.

  Then stop letting them run wild. Society can't be organized around what unsupervised children might do.

    Eh... No let kids more freedom but equip them with the skills and knowledge to choose. Kids are not property.

  No need for a false dichotomy with complete apathy. I would apply moderate shame/disapproval on my kids for smoking cigarettes, but I struggle to get upset at hazard ratios as low as pure nicotine. Ultimately kids have to make some decisions, including some bad ones, in order to become adults. We are not talking about shooting heroin here.
