    Smoking is redundant today. Kids are getting enough cancer from the environment already.

      It’s not redundant. Harms compound. It’s not like people max out their carcinogenic index or something. 🙄

        That law is an excellent example of knowledge vs wisdom. Knowledge is knowing that some substances may be carcinogenic. Wisdom is knowing that the dosage of a carcinogen is so low it hardly poses any risk.

        To be fair though that’s hard to put on a warning label and harder to explain.
