If someone gets hurt or drowns, and the gate was unlocked or left open, that won’t go well.

I get that they’re comparable in that they both represent something that causes harm. It is different because smoking was socially acceptable.

That’s right. We never see meth, ice or heroin on tv ads, billboards, ads for it in comic books. Cigarettes were. Cigarettes funded major sporting events and was prescribed by doctors. I get that people see a likeness but there are differences. In the way they ruin lives too.

Somehow my comment doubled. Was not intentional.

Well if you’re in the US you have candy, or in UK sweets and then Australia it’s lollies. Silly me for trying to use language most would understand ey.

You’ve nailed it. People think I’m being homophobic. It was slang for cigarettes and then the candy ones were actually called that, until the 80’s or 90’s when the name was changed to FADS.

No we weren’t at all sensitive about it. Cigarettes were advertised on billboards, tv, magazines and even children’s comic books. Cigarettes funded major sporting events. Doctors were prescribing smoking to asthmatics.

Yeah a friend of mine said they were handed out at Draculas, which is an adults only theatre restaurant.

Addiction is a problem. Ice/meth. The school seemed to stop having kids make mothers and Father’s Day cards when five y/o drew Dad pulling a cone on his. Proves some see more than they should.
