The solution is automatic; they wean themselves when they contract a terminal illness related to their use of tobbacco.

An interesting observation: does the same market driven economy insist on millions to be spent researching and developing expensive new machines to blast carcinomas when the same amount might have been spent on stopping people from ingesting or inhaling carcinogens to begin with?

From my chair, it seems people are only willing to spend large amounts when it has a potential to save their personal hide. (what is the average cost per RAD treatment). So it will be difficult to get them to change their bad habits until they have become life threatening. Much less try to change someone else's bad habits.

Further, from an economic standpoint, the industry that offers treatment options probably is not interested in preventing the behavior that causes cancer occurances and ultimately provides their economic life blood. (It would not be in the best interest of their stockholders)

(please reference my comment on crimes against humanity)

:rolleyes:

PS. I believe we can have success against this cancer by teaching early detection. Due to human nature (and my observations of tobbacco users) we will have a much harder if not impossible time getting them to stop their bad habits.
