The prohibition of alcohol in the USA was a notorious fiasco. The War on Drugs has been a deadly failure. Bans on alternative nicotine products keep people smoking cigarettes. Attempts to suppress legal highs result in more drugs hitting the market. Prohibition doesn't work but the world is filled with prohibitionists. Why? Christopher Snowdon's new history of prohibitions is a panoramic study of how bans begin, who instigates them and why they fail. It is a story of moral panics, vested interests and popular hysteria, driven by people who believe that utopia is only ever one ban away. Includes: The campaign for alcohol prohibition in the USA The worldwide ban on opium and the dawn of the War on Drugs The curious case of the European Union's ban on oral tobacco (snus) The 1920s crusade to suppress drinking worldwide The prohibition of Ecstasy and the rise of designer drugs The enduring appeal of prohibitionist policies today
Mr Snowdon does seem to have a bit of a bee in his bonnet about prohibitionhttp://www.amazon.co.uk/Velvet-Glove-Iron-Fist-Anti-Smoking/dp/0956226507/ref=pd_sim_b_1Essentially he purports to believe in free choice for all ....... but I note he does not permit his books to be published in Kindle form ~ presumably because the royalties are lower.
