Should social media be regulated like tobacco?

Welcome to the debate arena! Today's topic: "Should social media be regulated like tobacco?". Your opponent's style: Bo Burnham

AI, you start the debate. Make your opening argument.

Look, here's the thing about treating social media like tobacco. Tobacco kills you through chemistry, nicotine's literally a drug. Social media doesn't have a chemical that hijacks your brain, it has choice. You pick when to open the app. You pick what to engage with. Regulating it like tobacco means the government decides what you can and can't see, and suddenly we're living in some dystopian hellscape where politicians decide what content is "too addictive." Tobacco regulation made sense because there's no safe level of use. Social media? Some people use it fine, stay connected, build businesses. The problem isn't the tool, it's that we refuse to teach people how to use it responsibly. So what's your actual argument here?
