It all started with taxing them to death. All the other things came after. And yes it has taken a while but has been successful in the long run.storewanderer wrote:It has taken a long time to get cigarette consumption to fall. I believe there are other factors that have also caused this, such as banning it in most public places, teaching young people of the health risks (not serving sugary drinks in schools reminds me of this), etc.
