Vaping comes to mind as a recent factor , but other than that i don't see any drastic change. Yes people are very gradually abandoning it, young people don't smoke, but people are not quitting smoking. Everyone i know under 50 who has quit at some point is back at it again 1-2 years later. There was an attempt to ban smoking in public spaces years ago, but it didnt last long and if anything the situation is worse now. I'm not sure if they 've controlled correctly in their study.
