Exactly, it's like trying to put out fire with a hammer it just isn't going to work
I think it's more like taking cough medicine to control a chronic chest infection, but ignoring the damp moldy home, the sedentary lifestyle and the smoking. If you treat the symptom the problem will persist.
Unfortunately, they only need to look like they're doing something for about 1y to get the votes.
