Smoking Is a Dying Habit. Not in Germany. (www.wsj.com)

This is very sad. In my area, it's a declining phenomenon. I am convinced anyway that this reality will disappear relatively soon, in less than 20 years.

I don't think it will disappear, because it's intentionally designed to be addictive, making it hard to quit.
