Explain why the national experiment in prohibition and the anti-smoking campaign in the 1920s ultimately failed.
What will be an ideal response?
ANSWER
Consider: the underfunded and lax enforcement of the law; the high profitability of illegal bootlegging; the general unpopularity of prohibition in specific areas (like large cities); the public’s exhaustion with crusades and progressive reform that projected government power into the lives of individuals; the general disorganization of the anti-smoking campaign and the tobacco companies’ well-funded campaign to combat anti-smoking ordinances.
