Contrarian view - the programs are working. Rates of smoking among teens over the past three decades:
Ever used nicotine: 70.1% in 1991 to 17.8% in 2021;
Occasional use of nicotine: 27.5% in 1991 to 3.8% in 2021;
Frequent use of nicotine: 12.7% to 0.7%;
Daily use of nicotine: 9.8% in 1991 to 0.6% in 2021
I suspect the same can be said for workplace sexual harassment and outlooks on diversity. I agree that the programs are dumb and the trainings are dumb, but they have an effect.
