How would warnings stop you from that? It’s informative text, it can’t hurt you. Not any more than the alcohol itself.
Artificial sweeteners are very safe and sugar is carbohydrates, which you almost need for energy and a healthy diet. Coffee and butter is also quite safe.
But alcohol and tobacco? Any amount is harmful. Warnings wouldn’t be unreasonable for people to make more informed decisions. You’d be surprised at how many think alcohol is harmless. And its stuff you quite literally don’t need to live.
You’re right, teacher salaries are lower in the US than many of these countries.
