Yet Canada is considering printing individual warnings on cigarettes despite fully saturating understanding that smoking is bad.
I'm fully with each and every tweet warning you "tweeting makes you a dickbag please reconsider"
I vaguely recall somewhere had a speech synthesiser read everyone's comments back at them before letting people post them.
Someone un-ironically complained it made them "sound stupid".
(I think it was YouTube? Not sure).
(Even if I do have a strong memory that this was in addition to the XKCD).
But this is all beside the point.
My favorite thing was the interaction between the health department and a local principal, it went something like this:
Health Department representative reading off of a slide: "fewer than 5% of teens reported they had tried a tobacco product last year, with fewer than 1% indicating they had smoked a cigarette. We attribute this to the DARE and Too Good for Drugs campaigns as well as constant outreach from the DoH."
Principal: "we had to install vape detectors in every bathroom stall and then re-install them and hide them when the kids bashed them. We think that about 3/4 of the graduating class vapes."
Health Department: blank stares
There is what seems to be a willful ignorance about this in many professional circles. It's very strange to me.
In some classrooms greater than 50% of the male students would have "dip" or other oral tobacco products on their desk during lecture.
