500 years of addiction
1. Why is coffee popular in the world, but betel nut is very niche?
The popularity of coffee
1. The main reason for the popularity of coffee is the rise of coffeehouses. These coffeehouses are places for socialization and communication, as well as places for people to relax. Coffee's taste and refreshing effects also make it a popular drink. Extensive cultivation in European colonies also contributed to the popularity of coffee. However, betel nut has not been successfully popularized because the first try was not good and the teeth turned black and yellow, which affected the appearance.
Reasons why betel nut failed

2. How to promote a cigarette?
Development of the cigarette industry
Mechanized production
American businessman James Duke brought a turnaround to the cigarette industry. First of all, Duke advocates mechanized production. He spent a lot of money to purchase a Pensac cigarette making machine and asked engineers to improve it, increasing the speed of rolling cigarettes by 40 times, thus greatly reducing the cost of cigarettes. In addition, in order to change people's smoking habits, Duke invested a lot of resources in cigarette promotion. In 1889 alone, Duke spent $800,000 on cigarette advertising. Combining machine production with advertising and promotion, Duke's cigarette business grew rapidly and almost monopolized the U.S. tobacco industry.
Advertising
After the 1920s, tobacco companies still spent a lot of money on marketing promotions, trying to portray cigarettes as a high-quality and low-priced enjoyment. For example, pilots are asked to draw cigarette brands with smoke over the city; writers are hired to write books to promote women's smoking etiquette.
public opinion shaping
Some brands even risk using publicity methods that mislead consumers to build a good brand image and reputation. Under the influence of public opinion propaganda, tobacco companies can attract millions of new smokers every year.
The role of capital in promoting addiction
3. Why is alcohol still prosperous but opium is strictly prohibited?
alcohol boom
economic and cultural factors
The tobacco and alcohol industry is too huge. Taking France in the early 20th century as an example, 5 million people relied on wine to make a living. And wheat, corn, etc. that can be used to make wine are major crops around the world. The scale of trade in various types of drugs continues to shrink, and their origins are very limited. In addition, alcohol and tobacco have long been integrated into mainstream culture. In modern society, many socialites are smoking and drinking, and leaders are not shy about smoking and drinking. Illegal drugs such as marijuana and cocaine are mainly used by marginalized people in society.
High level of legitimacy and socialization
Opium control
social and economic issues
Domestic and foreign pressure
In its early stages, the drug trade accelerated primitive accumulation by Western powers. However, by the 20th century, drug abuse was increasing, and the attitude of those in power turned against drugs. In an era where precision operations are required, alcoholism and drug abuse are extremely harmful to the economy. At the same time, some business groups and middle classes who were unable to profit from the drug trade also began to rise. These factors are intertwined to promote the strengthening of drug control.
The eradication of opium in China
In the late 19th century, a large number of Qing citizens were addicted to opium, and the drug dumping by the great powers left the national treasury empty. Therefore, the Qing government issued strict laws to seize opium and boycott foreign imports. At the same time, parties opposed to the opium trade in Britain won the election, and governments of various countries signed conventions to control opium.
Summarize
In general, the complexity and challenges of drug control are mainly reflected in the dilemma of the medical community, human beings' sense of destiny towards drugs, and the future challenges of drug control. For the control of addictive drugs, various factors, including social, economic, cultural, medical, etc., need to be comprehensively considered to formulate appropriate policies and measures. At the same time, we also need to face and deal with various challenges and problems that may arise in the future.
As for cigarettes, coffee, alcohol and other items, everyone's addiction and personal experience with these items are different, so no specific withdrawal method can be given. If a person becomes dependent on a certain addictive drug, the best way is to find a substitute, gradually reduce the amount of use, and if necessary, seek help from a professional doctor to achieve withdrawal.
