put BIG warning labels on packages and every single cigarette
already done, even with images of lung cancer, addicted people don’t care and kids think it’s “cool” and “taboo”
put quit smoking programs onto every package
same as above.
prohibit smoking in ALL public spaces
prohibit smoking while driving
prohibit smoking while near vulnerable groups (kids, pregnant women, ill) even at home
how are you going to catch them? who is gonna enforce the law, the chain smoker cop? you directly, going against an highly aggressive person who’s in the middle of nicotine withdrawal?
Remove vending machines which provide this drug 24/7
move dispensary to drug stores
i mean sure it cooould teeechnically work
a bit of an unpopular opinion, but as someone who almost chokes on second hand smoke, i’d personally say just fuck it and outlaw cigarettes and vapes entirely, they’re durgs after all, no?
(this might open up another discussion about legalizing drugs, but whatever. Also shrooms and LSD don’t stink up the whole place and actually have fun effects unlike cigs)
The effectiveness of tobacco warning labels has been studied extensively over the past 50 years, and research shows that they are generally effective in changing smoking attitudes and behaviors.[3][4][5] A 2009 science review determined that there is “clear evidence that tobacco package health warnings increase consumers’ knowledge about the health consequences of tobacco use”. The warning messages “contribute to changing consumers’ attitudes towards tobacco use as well as changing consumers’ behavior”.[6]
same as above.
Haven’t seen them here in Austria/Germany. Also if you do that put websites not phone numbers there.

I mean I can still drive faster then allowed if nobody is watching. Should we stop enforcing speed limits because of that?

It’s way to ingrained into society to be outlawed completely.
I’m for controlled legalization of ALL drugs but keep them highly regulated. Drugs that directly harm others, like smoking should only be allowed in very specific locations like at home.

I think i explained myself poorly, the regulations you proposed are very good and should be enforced, but especially with old people, smoking everywhere will be so much ingrained in their brains that they won’t care and tell everyone who points it out “what, it’s just a cigarette”
Taxes are fine but there are more effective ways.

If they get fined often they’ll stop.
