I see what you're saying, but I would much rather my 9-year old spends an hour on TikTok than an hour smoking Marlboros.
I would much rather people not break things down into false dichotomies. Also, we should strive to give our children at least "good" options, and not settle for "less bad".
The choice would not be so clear-out to me. I'd have to think about it.
