PM’s Adviser Tells Reform Advocates: Gambling Isn’t as Serious as Cigarettes

One thought on “Gambling not as serious as cigarettes, PM’s adviser tells reform advocates”

  1. It’s disappointing to see a comparison that downplays the serious issues surrounding gambling. While both gambling and cigarette use can have significant negative impacts on individuals and society, they manifest in different ways. Gambling addiction can devastate lives, lead to financial ruin, and strain relationships, just as smoking does with health and well-being. It’s essential to recognize the seriousness of both issues and address them appropriately. Reform advocates have a valid point; we need to ensure that regulations around gambling are robust and focused on protecting vulnerable individuals, just as we’ve seen in tobacco regulations. Let’s not diminish the conversation, but rather seek to understand and address the complexities of both challenges.
