It is the age old story of people trying to control other peoples behavior by passing laws. People thought that if they made alcohol illegal people would just stop drinking. Instead, people drank illegally. A similar thing is easing it's way into the public conscience right now with efforts to control cigarettes, some drugs and the latest entry, attempting to control what you eat by dictating what retailers can sell and where they can sell it.

As long as there are people ther will be folks trying to make this a perfect world by trying to legislate morality. It has never worked but they keep trying.

What are doctors doing to give prohibitation agents problems?

Doctors are increasingly prescribing medications and treatments that challenge the effectiveness of prohibition agents, such as substance abuse prevention measures. They may utilize harm reduction strategies, such as medication-assisted treatment for addiction, to mitigate the impact of prohibited substances. Additionally, physicians are advocating for policy changes that prioritize public health over punitive measures, emphasizing treatment and rehabilitation instead of criminalization. This approach complicates the objectives of prohibition by focusing on patient care and addiction as a health issue rather than solely a legal one.


What started prohibitation?

In answer to 'What started' prohibition, it is probably best to say :Substantial pressure from the 'Temperance' movement. The biggest players in the Temperance movement were the 'women's Christian temperance union' which would preach anti alcoholic lessons to children in school, preach morals and spread prohibitionist Propaganda. All this led to the 'Volstead Act' which banned alcohol and all 'intoxicating liquors'.hope that helps.
