That's a terrible example. There has been a huge stigma around cigarettes for several decades now and also a huge education program that revolves around teaching people not to smoke.

The same would need to be done for guns and it would take many decades to make any impact at all. Not to mention, guns are not a consumable good. Cigarettes you buy, often daily (same with drugs and alcohol), guns you own for good. Gun owners are not getting rid of guns unless they want to get rid of them.
