The effort put into the campaigns are on a totally different level. The campaign against illegal substances has been virtually non-existant since the 80's. To my knowledge, there has never been a campaign in schools or in advertisements to increase awareness about breaking air pollution emissions laws. It is not about health but rather who is a minority of voters; implementing programs to reduce alcohol, marijauana, reckless driving, and gross air pollutors would affect too many voters in a way that they would find unpleasant.
