In Italy whatever active use of a phone is banned already by the law. If an officer sees you with a phone they can stop you and issue a fine. Stil its not enforced enough

banning stuff doesn't stop it. see tax evasion or fascism

It helps, the world isn't white or black. Many people stops doing things because those things are illegal. Then I agree that there will always be some people doing the bad and some people doing the good regardless of the law.

phone usage is already illegal. Obvs more is necessary

Yeah. Shouldn't even bother with laws against murder. Doesn't stop people killing each other.

Banning stuff does stop it, see Hitler (existing) or horses on highways.
