I think tobacco smoking is in terminal decline in the West and the future of tobacco is in Africa and Asia that's certainly where the major tobacco company's see their future profits. Will there be a hardcore left in the West yes of course there will my father is one of them. Even after seeing how successful e-cigarettes were for me and my mother (yes I got her to make the switch) he will not even try one or think about quitting full stop. As that group dies so the smoking figures will hit single figure percentages and in twenty years you'll be more likely to see classic cars then a public smoker.

I'm divided on the subject as while I understand the damage tobacco does and the negative affect it has on society I find many of the things done to smoker's to be distasteful such as bans and restrictions. Tobacco is a legal product and we already limit sale to adults I'd have preferred the numerous governments to have the courage of their supposed conviction and banned it altogether.
