If I thought it would make a difference I would. I have givin a lot of gear away in the past in hope that they would make the change. I have found those that have some sort of financial investment in it are much more likely to succeed then those that are just given to them.
The people that put no money in treat them like disposables and just discard or disregard them once they run out.
The people that put money down and invest in it continue investing in order to sustain their habit.
This is a sweeping generalization, but one I have seen over and over again.
