Reply to comment by tikitikifell in TIL in response to infamously high suicide rates at Mapo Bridge in Seoul, South Korea, the bridge was adorned with suicide prevention messages and uplifting photos.

IIRC the rate of suicide in Britain plummeted when they changed the type of gas used in ovens.

Suicide rates in countries with stringent firearm controls are also lower.
