Dopamine is not the problem. Corrupt and incompetent government is.
How exactly is the "Corrupt and incompetent government" responsible for people getting addicted to something?
I'm going to go off a limb and assume your a sweet summer child and were not aware of the smoking ads in the past.
I am going to assume you like the smell of your own farts, based on the condescending tone of your comment, and are not aware that people still start smoking without advertisements for cigarettes.
I used to smoke, I knew it was bad, but I did it because it was cool(in the beginning). tell me how that is not a problem?
That's an easy one. For example, by allowing the marketing or product to be unduly attractive to children
How does one market something in a way that isn't attractive to anyone between the ages of 0 and 17?
A total lack of regulation and a wold view so far behind reality that they cant even identify problems until years after they occur.
Why is the Government responsible for regulating an adult activity beyond age restricting that activity?
