I don't know where you're from, but in place where I live, I wouldn't say that things is getting worse here. I would say that significantly less people smoke nowadays than it was 15-20 years ago. It's not just people's mindset is changing, but it's also getting too expensive to smoke.
But on the other hand more people starting to smoke things like IQOS, vapes and weed also. Not sure what is more harmful, but trends is changing. Curreent generation ternagers don't even look at these old school cigarettes.
We are in the same scenario, back when I was a kid, I remember smelling cigarettes in the morning just when I woke up and no matter where you hang out, they always smoke as if it is their food or something but everything changes when those people died and they were diagnosed with some serious diseases before they died caused by their chain-type way of smoking. That's gonna happen when you are addicted to something and you have the means to do it, you keep doing it until your body gives up on you. As of now, no one in this home is a smoker and I'm happy with that and satisfied.
