9. There is no greater service to folks than reliable information

Drunk driving laws have been around (in some places) for over a century. We still have alcohol related auto accidents killing about 18,000 people a year in the US.

Lots of people quit smoking or smoke much less than before and I believe a huge number of people never started.

Information is power.
