Sugar is more addictive than nicotine, and it is hard to use reason to a 2 1/2 year old. I think it will be a lot easier to talk about tobacco to a teenager. Joe, Nicotine is one of the most physically addictive drugs. If sugar is addictive, its a psychological one....big, big difference. Don't get me wrong, I am not for banning candy or for suing the manufacturers, but I am for the same regulation and warnings as they have on cigarets, and even regulation on placement of various vending machines so that they are not within reach of children. Maybe candy purchases should be regulated for children...after all, we are raising the most obese generation in the history of the US. But to pretend the sugar problem is equal to the tobacco one is denying the nature of cigarettes and what smoking them does to the human body. ted
