War on Big Tobacco misses the point

Former President Biden proposed reducing nicotine in cigarettes, prompting reflection on the tobacco issue. While smoking rates have declined, alternative nicotine products have surged. Concerns focus on addiction and changing habits. High schoolers prefer vaping over traditional smoking, a trend impacting adulthood. Officials must address addiction beyond health risks and regulate nicotine levels to combat rising addiction rates. Big Tobacco profits from potent products, perpetuating dependence. The FDA, advocating alternatives, overlooks addiction. To truly help, officials must view citizens holistically and guide away from addiction. Failure to regulate nicotine levels enables increasing addiction through stronger products.
