I see what you're saying, but I would much rather my 9-year old spends an hour on TikTok than an hour smoking Marlboros.

The choice would not be so clear-out to me. I'd have to think about it.

I would much rather people not break things down into false dichotomies. Also, we should strive to give our children at least "good" options, and not settle for "less bad".
