Correct.

Do people still smoke cigarettes? Wait, I'll rephrase... do LOTS of people still smoke regardless of fully well knowing that cigarettes are bad for their health? And the answer is... yes!
Yes! You're right, however, even without the absense of statistical information, I'm willing to bet that the number of people who smoke per capita has dropped to a significant degree, which is well worth the prevention attempts. A life is a life.

Isn't it already a law for fast food restaurants to have those little health books laying out the health information about their offered food? People still eat it.
I have no idea, and obviously it isn't enough because I don't even know about it.

You're assuming all people are stupid and need their hands held throughout life... I agree people are stupid, haha, but holding their hand will do little.
I don't assume all people are stupid, I don't even assume many are stupid. But people lack significant information while still consuming fast food frequently, but that is not to say that they don't care. By providing them with this information in a successful way, I believe it will help many people make healthier decisions.
