Boycott American Alcohol, Soft Drinks (Pop) and Tobacco

Canada's boycott of American alcohol is working!

I propose scaling this up significantly and expanding it to other countries and also include pop (ex: coca-cola) and tobacco for the boycott.

Here's why:

1. All have harmful health effects.
2. Countries in general have more regulatory control over these things so a boycott could be enacted faster. Ideally your government should lead the boycott using their regulatory authority or pass a law to make it happen if not possible yet. The reason why Canada's alcohol boycott is so effective is because in Canada most alcohol is sold in state run stores so the government had the authority to stop selling it. This is key to success. However if not possible you can still boycott these products yourself.
3. These products all in general tend to come from red states. Coca-Cola is headquartered in Georgia, USA and has such an impact that people nearby instead of saying pop or soda they call everything even Pepsi products a "Coke". Red states are already feeling the effects of Canada's boycott. In Kentucky they were already forced to shut down a Bourbon distillery. Tobacco is also heavily grown in red states.

In addition while I have your attention I'll reiterate suggesting boycotting fossil fuels and big tech social media. These also harm the environment (fossil fuels) and your own mental health (big tech). Lemmy and Piefed are already a great non-US alternative to Reddit so if you have friends still on Reddit help them join here. In general hopefully you notice the correlation between something being harmful and them supporting/donating to the Republican party. This tends to happen a lot so concentrating on boycotting what causes the most harm helps stop the Trump regime the most.

If you like any of these ideas please try contacting your politicians and make the suggestion. You could make a huge difference!
