It feels like we already solved this with cigarettes... we've mostly agreed that we can't/shouldn't make them illegal, but we absolutely made it illegal to advertise them, we put huge taxes on them, required huge warning labels on boxes, etc.

Wow, I thought it was bad when I was in school and they tried pushing credit cards we didn't need on us. Now colleges are partnering with sportsbooks? That's terrible.

I still see ads for cigarettes and I still get nauseated by second hand smoke when in public places. I don't think we have solved the smoking problem at all. I don't particularly care about the ads, but the second hand smoke is a major problem.
