France to quit making cigarettes as last factory prepares to close
  • I agree ... Prohibition doesn't work.

    But making it very difficult and expensive to maintain an addictive habit would much better.

    The same would go for alcohol. If alcohol was more regulated, more controlled, not sold in public houses or businesses (including bars) and the price increased, taxed more with taxes going towards addiction treatment, education and medical assistance for those affected by alcohol .... less people would drink alcohol.

    If you have a culture where you freely allow businesses to promote, sell and provide an addictive substance that provides little to no health benefit .... especially if it makes high profits ... companies will want to encourage a culture of making their substance widely acceptable.

    Alcohol looks acceptable because it's promoted, advertised and normalized everywhere. If it weren't, less people would be drinking.

    Advertising of smoking is highly regulated and discouraged now ... smoking is no longer normalized ... which is why people smoke less.

  • ‘Cognitively impaired’? Trump’s confused attacks on Biden start to backfire
  • Whenever I see these headlines I no longer see the Trump as stupid ... nor do I see Biden as equally dumb.

    I see the whole American system of government as stupid and non functioning .... American government is basically a glorified old age home at this point.

    The dumb part is the whole country accepting that.

  • Young climate activist tells Greenpeace to drop ‘old-fashioned’ anti-nuclear stance
  • Especially when you start counting the number of people that have died either directly or indirectly from coal, oil and every fossil fuel.

    If your extrapolate the data into the next hundred years ..... fossil fuels will have responsible for the deaths of billions.

    Compared to nuclear energy ..... fossil fuels is killing us slowly and will kill us all if we don't stop using them.
