58% of Americans say marijuana should be legalized.
Efforts to slowly strangle off tobacco usage (and thereby produce a defacto "prohibition") are showing more promise.
Education works - coercion fails.
With all the rampant propaganda going on, 52% thought Barack Obama was the answer too.
Not that i'm buying your study anyway.
Education works - coercion fails.
You haven't seen any of the anti-smoking ads have you? Tobacco is being heavily maligned (and paying for it with their own money) taxed and regulated out of existence.
What you are calling "education" is pretty much just blatant propaganda designed to instill hate, and does not in any way resemble "education." The taxes and Regulation are just a form of coercion.
So "Prohibition" against tobacco is working because they are slowly squeezing the life out of it with a combination of propaganda and coercion.
Not that i'll be sad to see it go. I detest tobacco. Still, I can see what's happening.
