    Dude you’re like a decade late. You can’t start warning us about the dangers of smoking when we already have stage 4 lung cancer and expected to make any difference whatsoever.

      I hear what you’re saying here, but the parallel doesn’t work. People were dying of stage 4 lung cancer for years before they finally put warning labels on the product.

      Unfortunately, people like this are going to have to keep saying it over and over until the message takes hold. It will take years.

        Telling people that smoking is bad for you took decades too. I think my analogy holds up okay dude
