Agree that many big tobacco brands are marketed at kids. Would disagree for many others (literally any regular brand of cigarettes in nondescript packaging hidden behind store shelves, with very little advertising allowed compared to alcohol. Ever seen a vodka ad with beautiful young people partying, or a craft beer ad showing college students having the time of their lives? Wonder who those might be aimed at.).

And sorry to say but you could not be more wrong with the second half of your statement. Alcohol is consistently found in studies to be at least as physically addictive as nicotine, not to speak of the negative external effects (physical violence) that are completely absent in nicotine.

Did a JUUL exit ever look hot?
As soon as kids started using it, the ethics went 📉

It was real hot on here last year. Lots of people comparing exit ops at FAANG against juul 😂

Again posting since my last post did not got attention. Wanted to ask whether it's good to switch to big 4 India advisory role from a mid tier organization dealing in tech and ops. Additionally, they offered just very low percentage on current CTC saying that I am coming to a big brand.
Plus my current financial situation is stressful and I accepted the offer on certain conditions but now hr or the firm but saying we can't committ you. Any suggestions.

I am looking to make a career change to HR. I currently make 75K as a sales and development coach. I had a recent offer for a state government position in a talent acquisition role but I’d be taking a $25K pay cut.

My question is those currently in an HR role, would this move make sense to you?
