I just read a post about someone trying to quit smoking and I had been thinking about how many people smoke nowadays as compared to earlier generations. It seems that smoking is on the decline, but I could be jaded by living in California with so many anti-smoking laws. Both of my parents smoked for years and fortunately non of their kids picked up the habit. (I did smoke a cigarette (or puffed a cigarette) once when I was around 8 and asked my mother if I could smoke. Probably the best lesson she could have ever done for me :P)
BTW, to keep this thread from being locked, I am only referring to tobacco cigarettes.
