If tobacco and alcohol are so toxic and dangerous why are they legal?
If banning and restricting substances was so effective why is there such a large percentage of youth hooked and nearly incapable of anything than petty crimes?
I’ll tell you why, because the system to balance itself and justify all the fascism and violence it holds a monopoly on it needs to criminalize a portion of the population to justify general repression. This is how you can maintain the absolute extreme in inequality, violence and legitimizing violence for the benefit of the majority.
I grew up in a society nobody tried to prevent kids from drinking, and I had not seen a kid drunk. Then in the US I was shocked that the first party I attended half the people were tripping falling down and passing out, and that was called fun!
There is a deeper reason of repression, and it is not to protect the public’s health. If they gave a shit about health they would have made health care free and accessible to all as a public service it should have been, together with education, shelter, and nutrition.
Because it’s traumatic imagery being shoved in people’s faces. I don’t give a shit whether it works.
I already don’t smoke and never will - but I have to be exposed to that shit, just looking at the wrong part of a shelf. You could probably put pictures of exploded rat carcasses and starving children on there, apropos of nothing, and yeah no kidding it’ll impact sales!
No practical goal justifies putting this Rotten.com gore and shock content on commodity consumer goods. You wanna reduce sales? Tax it more. Don’t commit psychological warfare against anyone who glances upward at a gas station.
The reason you are calling it shit is because you were brainwashed that it is. Up until the 80s you could hardly walk into an office public or private and there weren’t public ashtrays around. Have cancer, lung, and heart disease decreased? They have INCREASED!!
Have work accidents lethal and disabling injuries decreased? No, they have increased because of unions being faught against like enemies of the state (which they are to any capitalist state).
Why are you against this? I thought it was shown the advertising is reasonably affective?

I mean, could have them out of sight, and have the images on them, like they do in Australia.
