That’s a lawyer’s kid talking.

Ask an oncologist’s kid (me). Who used to smoke. The studies are incontrovertible. Tobacco all by itself is deadly. Additives (which until the new FDA powers go into effect have never had to be listed - unlike virtually any other consumable product we buy) are the icing on the cake. We’ll know more when we find out what they actually are.

caffeine is also addictive, but nobody posts that label on bottles of pop, which kids consume in big amount
