I agree with you that it should apply to other unhealthy things and that the "NSFW" label is a misnomer.

However, I have seen children smoking cigars (albeit cheap ones). Evidence suggests that they are doing so because they are imitating their parents or characters in the media.

Tobacco use disorder is on track to kill a billion people by the end of the century. 20% of men die from it. Hiding tobacco use from people who don't have tobacco use disorder is one of the best tools we have to prevent the spread, and I'll gladly voice my support for any measure to do that - even if it isn't applied in the most consistent/fair way.



All I have to say is that we disagree, and I think your logic is deeply flawed. You're lumping all tobacco use into one category and also seem to be in favor of "any measure" to "hide" it, regardless of its costs and effectiveness. Overall, your position looks incredibly unreasonable to me. I also think that if your reasoning were applied consistently, it would lead to a complete disaster.
