NightOwlWhy aren’t health warnings on cigarettes expanded to alcohol?
HeartyBeastThe answer is in the article: “ I don’t want to say that there are necessarily equivalent health risks,”
norideI would argue the overwhelming majority of consumers do not know alcohol is a proven carcinogen, and many would still choose to make more health conscious choices, even though the relative risk is lower than smoking.
The list of proven and likely carcinogens is rather large. Do we put a similar health warning on every sausage and strip of bacon? Plus planks of wood (wood dust contains known carcinogen). If you extend the list to mutagens, rather than proven carciogens the list gets even longer
