Then you probably are aware that aversion therapy is not very effective ?

I mean. It is primarily used to stop an impulsive behavior.

Which may have been conditioned previously, but also may be more a product of biology- depending on which perspectives you agree with.

Don't you think a program designed to limit your time by a timer that then blocks the FB would be more effective?

I guess in my studies, aversion therapy has not been show as an effective long term way of conditioning.

I think your idea is nice in theory, but not necessarily practical.

Do you have any degree or special experience in the field of conditioning and psychology?

Of course it did. Because that is on taste aversion. Taste aversion is a whole different game.

The ability for a conditioning to affect taste preference is crazy high compared to pretty much anything else.

A person can develop a life long conditioned response to a one time trial with the tasted item paired with a bad experience.

Even response time can be really long and a strong taste aversion conditioning will still occur.

It doesn't follow the other rules of Pavlovian conditioning.

I'm not sure that having more lobbyist is really the answer. The people will never be able to compete financially with corporations.

Do you actually think paying someone a few thousand dollars to go and represent the public will actually do anything when any given corporation that wants their own agenda considered first will have more lobbyist and more funding?

I'm just having a hard time understanding if this is just a ruse to pay more lawyers. I honestly don't think it's going to be effective.

Kudos for trying something, I'm just not convinced it's going to make any difference.

But the aversion therapy is effective because it works on the taste aspect of the smoking habit.

Trust me. I know what I'm talking about.

You do the same method with a heroine addict, you will not be seeing any valuable results.
