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.

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.
