This "woke" culture needs to go away!

Well why was advertising allowed on TV? Many adverts also promoted vaping as safe, despite many calls to the govt to put a stop to it.
By the time it was addressed, it was too late, the tobacco giants had already got their customers.

Human greed? you mean the greed of tobacco giants? lol

Im quite surprised that such a left wing govt actually allowed this to even happen, usually its the opposite.

Obviously its a major issue with retailers illegally selling to minors, but thats a separate issue altogether.

Rubbish. It is not separate, it is what capitalism demands. Exploit where possible to increase profit. What is surprising is the complete lack of understanding from such a staunch anti government voice. You want the government to regulate now, but rail against that same government regulating elsewhere. Both in health related issues.

Hypocrisy at its finest.

Perhaps we're in need of a new system. It seems that the same pattern repeats throughout history - the wealthy section of the community does its best to ensure that those who are poor remain so, apart from the odd token gesture. It remains difficult for those people to improve their situation under capitalism.

Once again, perhaps we could learn from Nordic countries which have a mix of capitalism & socialism which seems to work well.
