b. prohibition of the sale of poisons

A
Reduced accessibility of guns would be the strongest primary prevention deterrent to the prevalence of suicide in the population as a whole. Guns are the most lethal form of suicide and account for a large number of suicide deaths. While poisons are sometimes used in suicides, the number of fatalities from this source is lower that the number of fatalities from gun shots. Also, falling from high mountains is not one of the major causes of suicidal deaths.
