Except it doesn’t, like with their smoking example.
Or, if you’d like another… there are age requirements for buying alcohol. Based on your comments, there must be a massive thriving black market for selling moonshine to kids, yet I’ve seen zero evidence of such a thing.
Even that isn’t particularly popular amongst children. Youth drinking has dropped substantially over the years.
I also don’t really get your point. We should stop under 18s/16s from drinking via asking their parents for some by… removing all restrictions altogether?
You imposed yourself into a debate where someone said restrictions have zero effect other than creating black markets. I and others pointed out that’s untrue.
Then you came along and now you seem to be arguing with me then now you’re agreeing with me but being really vague about it.
Prohibition only feeds black markets.

An anecdote is not evidence. Do you have evidence?
My anecdote is that I’ve never even heard of children buying moonshine once.
