  I think we were pretty successful with smoking at least where I live(d). I don't know anybody who smokes cigarettes.

      Smoking where i am from has fallen drastically. Both my parents smoked a lot (my dad smoked two packs a day). I dont know anyone who smokes. "In 2017, the overall prevalence of smoking in Canada was 15.1%, equivalent to approximately 4.6 million Canadians. This represents a significant increase from the 2015 estimate of 13.0%." here's a nice chart showing the gradual decline before a spike in usage?? https://uwaterloo.ca/tobacco-use-canada/adult-tobacco-use/smoking-canada/current-smoking-prevalence https://uwaterloo.ca/tobacco-use-canada/adult-tobacco-use/sm... The government has been VERY aggressive at curbing it. https://www.tobaccocontrollaws.org/legislation/country/canada/summary#:~:text=Most%20forms%20of%20tobacco%20advertising,border%20advertising%20is%20not%20restricted https://www.tobaccocontrollaws.org/legislation/country/canad.... I noticed it is still a "cultural" issue? My ex is Chinese and when i went to China it seems everyone smokes there? If the government is willing to accept the loss of revenue from taxes.. They can hammer away at something and make changes.

  Weight loss via appetite suppression and (speculating) giving you something else to do with your mouth. Admittedly that doesn't balance out the downsides, but there is that. Non-smoker, for the record.
