Taxes aren't the reason so few people smoke. It might have been somewhat contributory, but the main reasons so few people smoke are social pressure and the fact that it is so much more inconvenient to smoke because there are so few places you can't smoke. Travel around the country and you'll see more smoking in places where there's no lack of places you can smoke and where no one will side eye you for smoking.
