    did calling people out for smoking stop people from smoking?

    Kinda. Also banning them from the good chairs in restaurants and stopping tobacco companies from doing publicity.

    did banning drunk driving stop people from driving drunk?

    It did reduce drinking by a lot.

      yeah, those were not the best examples, but it’s like, why do people drive drunk? Why do people smoke? Why do people scroll hopelessly into the void hoping to feel okay in super short bursts?

      I just think, I want to live where nobody drunk drives, nobody smokes, nobody doomscrolls . . . . I just hate it.
