Maybe we can look for historical examples of how legislation had a positive impact on a widespread harmful habit.
Early on, the U.S. Congress adopted the Federal Cigarette Labeling and Advertising Act of 1965 and the Public Health Cigarette Smoking Act of 1969. These laws—
* Required a health warning on cigarette packages
* Banned cigarette advertising in the broadcasting media
* Called for an annual report on the health consequences of smoking
