It smartened people up to stay away, or they suffered the consequence. Problem with society now is they never think they should suffer the consequences.

Agree 100%. You could also make a strong argument that obesity is a bigger issue than any of the chemicals you listed. Between Medicare/Medicaid and insurance premiums, you're ready shelling out a fortune for what others consume.
