===============

Well, Holy Cow, I didn't know there was Prohibition in Ontario, Canada! But apparently, there was.

And, more successful? Any way you care to define it. ;)

But perhaps one way might be that it anticipates some of the modern thinking on addiction. Maybe even does it one better in realizing the futility of preaching a negative and telling people not to think about a particular topic, and just maybe zen alternatives?
