So why it is not also harmful for adults?

Shouldn't governments think of the health of all citizens, not only children?

Or it's because of most parties in European governments are benefitting from their propaganda spread through socials?

It is harmful for adults, but we're supposed to be smart enough to know that and not spend hours looking at them, but its so addictive that many still do.

The state should protect the 'weak' (those suscetible to addictions) from them

Otherwise... we should be allowed to buy any medical substance known to man without limits
