“the link between the dye and cancer does not occur in humans”
So just because it’s carcinogenic in rats means it’s banned. But sure, let’s keep selling cigarettes. This is just a big joke.
It's a question of risk vs reward, not risk alone. I don't imagine many would care if their candies look different, but if you take away cigarettes, you're going to get a riot and lots of people going to the black market.
Cigarettes are fairly easy and obvious to avoid, disregarding the occasional whiff when you're out and about.
Food additives less so, especially when in it's in a lot of different foods and manufacturers may change previously "safe" formulas.
