Tech is the new tobacco, commentary argues
Original: It's now official, tech is the new tobacco
A new commentary by Cailin O'Connor argues that the technology industry now occupies the cultural and health position once held by Big Tobacco: products deliberately engineered for addiction, corporations downplaying harms, and mounting evidence of damage to mental health and attention. The framing has struck a chord with readers debating regulation, corporate responsibility and personal device habits.
Why now: Renewed public concern over social media and screen addiction has made comparisons between tech companies and tobacco companies resonant.
