The conversation between human and AI assistant.
Why can't the government ban drugs, smoking, tobacco and drinking alcohol?
That's true. But what about the harm these substances cause to individuals and the society as a whole?
Yes, the harm caused by these substances is certainly a concern. However, education and public awareness campaigns have been shown to be effective in reducing substance abuse. Additionally, the government can implement regulations, such as age restrictions and limits on advertising, to help mitigate the harm caused by their use.
