Do you think this tactic will help people kick the smoking habit?
Can shaming or staring stop someone from smoking? Hong Kong’s health minster urges people to shame when someone smokes where they shouldn’t. Since law enforcement can’t stop all smokers, maybe public shaming might.
He suggests if someone lights up in a restaurant, everyone in the restaurant should just stare at the offending person. That person should and couldn’t hit back at every single person in the restaurant for simply staring.
