You're right about the smoking. Boy did stigma kill that, at least in the US. I still remember bars where you could smoke when I was a kid. This is an interesting comparison you bring up, because there isn't no stigma around social media, I'd say. It's definitely not well regarded to be on your phone in social settings, at least for my generation. But in private, I know many (incl myself) scroll way more than I'd like. Almost like a smoker sneaking off to get their fix. A few days ago I came across some idea of having a public readout on a website or something of how much time you spend on your phone, as a way to reproduce this stigma. Unfortunately all the API's to access this data are closed, including iOS. With more access, there could be some really amazing tools to help people use their technology in a way that serves them better, but the people in power would prefer that don't happen...
