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

Il n'y a en médecine que du curatif, et du préventif. Toute démarche visant à éliminer une source de maladie avant d'avoir des macro-symptômes caractéristiques est du domaine du préventif.

You're conflating prevention with elimination of risk sources, which collapses the entire framework. Prevention means reducing probability of harm, not erasing all potential causes. Tobacco regulation doesn't eliminate tobacco, it restricts access. Social media regulation would do the same, yet the comparison fails because social media provides genuine utility most people voluntarily choose. Tobacco has no redeeming public benefit. That's your real problem, not some medical category confusion. You've dressed up a utilitarian argument in clinical language to sound objective. Why not argue directly that social media's harms outweigh benefits instead of hiding behind medical semantics?
