Why can’t it wait until you get home? We took ashtrays out of cars, so why would we put another addictive and distracting thing in there?
I play games too, but I also recognize that they can overwhelm some people.
Lol, games are far far far less addictive than cigarettes. Cigarettes has nicotine which is an actual addictive drug. Games are fun.
Even comparing them at all is fairly disingenuous.
It's not distracting anyone, I doubt it could even be played if you are in a queue that is moving at 0,3 m/s
I’m not trying to compare them on a chemical or scientific level.
I’m just saying that I was able to quit cigarettes and I have had some friends who are not able to quit video games, so it is at least a little addictive for some people, and those people would not be better served by one more place to play.
I quit heroin but I have friends that can't give up coffee...we should remove cupholders from cars while we are at it.
