The more you try and control and limit children/teens the more they are likely to rebel and do those things.

Slightly different but the same idea prevails. Scottish government tried to control and limit alcohol with minimum pricing per unit and not able to purchase in a shop before 10am and after 10pm. But none of those things work as there is always a loophole and workarounds. People will just spend more on the thing they want.
