yet... smoking rates have been trending dowards for 20 years? https://www.lung.org/research/trends-in-lung-disease/tobacco...
I'm not expecting everyone to be perfectly healthy, ethically minded citizen.I certainly am not. Just an perceived consensus (well, "just". Still asking for the moon apparently). I'd be over the moon if we had 37% rates of people who cared about privacy (the peak of teen smoking rates since they started collecting/publicizing that part of data in 1991). let alone 63%.
Kids also get taught about smoking in school. It's hammered into them everywhere, all the time. There are massive social prohibitions on smoking. And yet.
The whole point is that people massively discount harms that are not immediately and visibly consequential.
