Most people are addicted. It's like you are saying "Just stop smoking cigarettes so often"

With cigarettes, we recognized the harm that they did and in response developed a series of regulations about where they could be used, who could use them when, how they could be advertised, warning labels that had to be applied, and taxes on them to discourage use and offset the societal harm.
