The problem with addiction is that it's safe to say that NOTHING is good if used to excess.

I used to be so hooked on caffeine I drank a 30-cup pot each day. It was giving me all kinds of issues, and I was only in my 20's. I'm still addicted, but I've learned to moderate. It took me years. And my 4th latte of the day is telling me that I'm not exactly great at it.

If I smoked/vaped Nicotine, I would have serious problems of taking too much all the time.

Are you suggesting you want caffeine banned?

Not at all. I don't suggest any bans. I said elsewhere I would not oppose pre-rolled cigarette bans because they are especially dangerous and would not reduce access to the product itself. But I also don't suggest pre-rolled cigarette bans.
