And now for something completely different...

Hi,

Weirdly, people seem more hung up about things that are socially embarrassing than things that are lethal.

Exactly. Which is why educating people about the dangers of smoking stops a few, but making fun of smoking and smokers (as so many adds did in the 60's and 70's) stops many.

Education gets to the small percentage who think. Propaganda gets to the vast majority who don't.
