Prohibition Does Not Work
Last week marked the launch of Prohibition Does Not Work, an international coalition backed by think tanks and aimed at promoting evidence-based harm reduction policies over prohibitionist approaches. The group argues that prohibition has failed, fueling crime, black markets, and public health risks, while blocking access to safer alternatives. Partners such as the Tholos Foundation and the Australian Taxpayers’ Alliance stress that governments should follow the science, adopt harm reduction strategies, and curb the unintended consequences of restrictive tobacco and nicotine laws.
