They tried that with prohibition, it did not work. Only helped put organized crime in power.

You will never be able to legislate moral choices. Education must begin in the home and on the local levels. Just like with cigarettes, it will have to become very socially unacceptable before anything can be done on a national level. Not likely.

OR . . . there is a way of making money out of Sobriety . . . the rise in TV adverts here in the UK/Ireland over the last few months for E-Cigarettes has been unbelievable, people have clearly started to see a gap in the market and have figured money can still be made on the back of people quitting smoking.

If money could still be made on the back of quitting alcohol, then there will be someone out there thinking it up and marketing it!!
