It’s why in the UK shops won’t sell more than 2 packets at a time. It’s statistically reduced the amount of people killing themselves with them (intentionally or by mistake).
It is stupid scary how a lot of what prevents people from doing the most outlandish shit is just being designed in a way that is mildly inconvenient.
