I live in a place with similar laws (Ontario, Canada) - I can’t remember the last time I saw a tobacco ad. During my lifetime too we’ve banned tobacco displays in most stores (dedicated tobacco shops seem to be exempt?) - the packages are now in opaque cabinets, and you ask the teller to grab you the type you want. Our youth smoking numbers have gone from about 28% in 1999 to about 5% in 2019. To be fair, it’s hard to say what’s causational or not. Of course, youth vaping numbers are on the rise, and while that’s strictly speaking preferable to smoking, it’s hardly ideal.
