Parents already warn kids about drugs, but few realize yet that this is just one instance of a more general lesson.
Hard to say how it plays out in the long term. Do we end up with a society that's 95% addicts and 5% people who understand the danger and resist it? Or does it play out like smoking, where the addiction spreads wildly at first, then shrinks?
The good news is, if we establish a general antibody against things you want that don't make you happy, it will work against many different smokings simultaneously. The bad news is that it will need to.
