    Have those warning labels been shown to work like at all? We already have awareness saturation about just how awful cigarettes are for you.

      With the government executing this message to our youth, I think they’ll work as well as the anti-piracy ones back in the day.

      Warnings probably work better on products you’re putting in your body. If you have blackened lungs on the cigarette packaging I can’t imagine choosing to smoke.

      On social media, you basically have to destroy my experience for me to stop using it in the same way. All effective options are terrible: ads, microtransactions, auto-playing unexpected sounds, nonresponsive interfaces.

      What do you mean by work? Do they stop everyone from doing stupid things? No. Do they have a measurable effect on behavior? Yes.
