    “Childrens advocates “ have been backing the most egregiously unconstitutional, paternalistic, data broker friendly, moral panic, privacy dystopia bullshit bills around the country. “Childs advocates” are why we have anti pornography pearl clutching panopticon laws that require you to scan a government ID to jerk off. Fuck off with that.

    Have those warning labels been shown to work like at all? We already have awareness saturation about just how awful cigarettes are for you.

        Lol no, no one smokes anymore mainly because it’s a taboo and a pack of cigs is so expensive it’s basically impossible to do so on the regular.

        The labels don’t do shit.

          How do you think smoking went from something nearly everybody did to being taboo? Maybe the labels don’t do anything for the last 10% of the population who still smoke today, despite the taboo, but those labels played a big role in reinforcing public awareness of the health effects of smoking.

            No they didn’t, people got tired of the smell and public awareness of smoking came from watching family members die. Labels didn’t do shit. Smoking was on the decline before the labels even showed up.
