Patently untrue. At the time the causal link with lung cancer was established, about 80% of men smoked. Now it's a little over 20%. It has fallen steadily as restrictions on it, and education about it, have grown tighter and more sophisticated.
There is every reason to expect the ban in public places, and now the proposal to ban display, to reduce the level of smoking in our society still further. And there is no basis for suggesting, as you have done, that there will be no impact.
