I met a mining engineer once who believed in flat earth ... I debated with him for a while for fun because I thought he was joking. Half an hour later I realized he was serious.

I had to laugh because at one point I told him that if he honestly believed all this, his work place hazard in mining would be that he could drill right through the plane of the earth and fall right through into infinity ..... or onto the back of a turtle.

I agree ... Prohibition doesn't work.

But making it very difficult and expensive to maintain an addictive habit would much better.

The same would go for alcohol. If alcohol was more regulated, more controlled, not sold in public houses or businesses (including bars) and the price increased, taxed more with taxes going towards addiction treatment, education and medical assistance for those affected by alcohol .... less people would drink alcohol.

If you have a culture where you freely allow businesses to promote, sell and provide an addictive substance that provides little to no health benefit .... especially if it makes high profits ... companies will want to encourage a culture of making their substance widely acceptable.

Alcohol looks acceptable because it's promoted, advertised and normalized everywhere. If it weren't, less people would be drinking.

Advertising of smoking is highly regulated and discouraged now ... smoking is no longer normalized ... which is why people smoke less.
