E-cigs and their commercials come with a nicotine warning label. Anyone know if gummint forced those warning labels on the e-cig industry?
Also, beer, wine, liquor, and Pennsylvania "state store" ads come with a warning to enjoy those products responsibly.
What would happen if commercials for sodas, salty/greasy snacks, and sweet cereals came with conspicuous warning labels saying "WARNING: This product contains ingredients that are addictive and can cause short and long term health problems"?

You’re late. They already have, through taxing. In Seattle, the standard tax rate for the sweetened beverage tax is $.0175 per ounce. From the mayor’s page it states:
“Seattle’s sweetened beverage tax was designed to result in the improved health of Seattle residents by reducing the sales and consumption of sugary drinks.”
In other words, they are herding people.
