>or people could just start to realize that [A] is [B] and stop [C] it.
Possible values for A = heroin, alcohol, tobacco, weed, porn, TV…
B = addictive, causes cancer, has an effect on brain health, spreads HIV…
C = using, consuming, eating, injecting…
Seems that this “people realizing” does not seem to work with other highly addictive chemicals or electronic media, since healing oneself from addiction requires far more than just “realizing” it is bad for you and the society. Perhaps there is a reason why we limit by law the sale of tobacco, drugs, alcohol and other highly addictive substances.
