    It just doesn’t make sense.
    Why make an everyday product that people over consume - harmful for a part of the population?
    The original problem that informed people still eat too much salt… Because everyone knows too much salt is bad for you.

      Public health is about making the populace healthier despite themselves. See cigarettes for example. At the national level, everything’s about cost / benefit.

        If that’s would be true.
        Look what they did to vaping in the US - now its either cigarettes or disposable with 50mg salt nic.
        They intentionally killed the 3mg or 6mg devices - for the better good?
        Vaping was harm reduction - now it is just or even more addicting than cigarettes.

        And they keep doing the $ over people - this was only one example.

          Isn’t all that essentially unauthorised? Idk much about US FDA decisions. Then again, pointing to anything the US is doing right now is of questionable value.

            Let’s say it’s a total mess - and leave it like that. It is really a long and very ugly story.
            It has absolutely 0% for the people and 100% for the money.
            And I agree nobody should be following US in decisions. At least that’s an easy way to stay on the good/right side of history.
