it appears that the plan of creating government regulation is effective at stopping production, and no causal link to demand is outlined in your hastily-googled abstract.
i have a high degree of certainty that there were cigarette smokers who want regulation, and industrial workers who wanted to stop asbestos. if we were to look at congressional testimony in the usa, it would probably show just that.
but the other user isn’t saying we should only rely on meat-eaters. most meat-eaters do think that animals should be treated humanely (i recognize their definition is at odds with yours), and would likely back stricter humane slaughter regulations. you seem to be saying that’s not good enough, and i find it understandable that the other user has become quite jaded about helping animals at all in the face of your purism.
There were smokers trying to ban cigarettes or regulate cigarettes?
What regulations were active smokers pushing for that would affect their ability to continue smoking?
I know there were victims of misinformation who didnt know there would be consequences, but they aren’t smokers anymore by the time they are in front of congress talking through a voice box.

And you think that regulation was pushed by people who sell or smoke cigarettes, and by those that mine or use asbesthos?

Maybe you can talk me through an example.
