Again, I see that as being pretty hard to prove. We have actual numbers related to opioid addiction.

I'm also interested in seeing if this paves the way for class-action suits against these companies.
I know it is a fantasy on my part.

What governments could realistically do is regulate all health products. Should not be able to sell a health product without credible evidence that it is safe and works better than a placebo.
