As you called for. Clearly defined victim means you can say that exactly that person was injured in that accident.\nSaying **other drivers could** become victims is way too broad for the definition.\n\nI do not say it is not important, however it is not what you asked for.\n\nGrapeg:\n\n> Baking a cake.\n\nOkay and what **100%** happens while or after baking the cake regularly that you need to see a doctor?\n\nGrapeg:\n\n> Recently?\n\nemro.who.int\n\n### WHO EMRO - STOP Tobacco Industry\n\nSTOP Tobacco Industry\n\nhashcatHitman:\n\n> When people make drugs at home, I think there tends to be much greater risk for additional harm that could have been prevented by regulated manufacturing\n\nThat depends on the drug. If it is something from nature (weed or tobacco) it is far easier to produce it by yourself without extreme knowledge or danger.\nIf it is something more chemical (LSD, fentanyl, cocaine) than you need a for higher knowledge to produce it and the risk to make a mistake that could kill you is extremely high.\n\nGrapeg:\n\n> We should include sugar in comparison too, something which children are weaned onto at an early age.\n\nThat would be a good idea, sadly the sugar industry makes a pretty good lobby job to stop studies about this. Mostly framing fats for the issues sugar causes.\n\nGrapeg:\n\n> I just can’t understand why stopping adults buying cigarettes is a priority, it is just a whim and if we makes laws in this basis, whose whim is next and what is it going to be?\n\nCan you proof that this is a whim?\n\nhashcatHitman:\n\n> Tobacco is attributed to far more deaths annually than alcohol in every single year from 1990 to 2023, with 1990 being the first year we even have data that includes tobacco.\n\nWhile this might be true it should also be acknowledged that way more people are addicted to nicotine than to alcohol.\n\nGrapeg:\n\n> In the UK the deaths from smoking are around 3x alcohol but i can’t see any age related data which I think is important\n\nWhy is for you the age important?\nThis law is not about the age.",
