I think that shame doesn't help the people already addicted- it makes it harder for them to deal with their current issues. It encourages avoidance of help, and avoidance of looking at the problem head on. A better deterrent in my opinion would simply be ads about the consequences, like successful anti smoking campaigns. It would be hard for me to disagree more than I do with the advocacy of continued shame for addiction.
- mythrwy 9y agoI don't think ads will work. But you might be right about shame. I don't know, I'm not an expert on addiction and human psychology. But I have known a few and most of them weren't either.
