    Argument from fallacy. Just because an argument contains a fallacy doen not mean that its conclusion is false. In this context I feel like it would be much more effective to point out that cigarettes are totally unnecessary, while owning a car (depending on where you live) is not. Putting a warning label on something like cigarettes is not comparable to putting warning signs on something that you actively need to survive.

      “[cars] something that you actively need to survive.”

      You almost just made me spit out my beer.

        “[cars] (depending on where you live) something you actively need to survive.” Seems like you conveniently forgot something there. If you live in a place where you can walk to work and the grocery store that’s amazing for you! For many people having a vehicle is not a choice, but a necessity.

          Uber.

          Let me say again, Uber.

          Busses, trains, scooters, electric vehicles of any kind.

          I’m not saying electric means no fossil fuel emissions of any kind. Almost everywhere is feeling varying growing pains exploring how to responsibly keep an ever more drawn upon electric grid charged.

          I’m saying gas fueled cars need to go away, not yesterday, but at least 15 years ago.

          Gas cars are what we as a species NEED to quit.

          Simple vices pale in comparison.
