I smoked from 15 to 19 at about one pack a day. After that, I quit and haven't smoked since (I'm 36 now). I think it's great to see teenagers and 20 somethings now who are in college not smoking. I never thought I'd see the day where NOT smoking was "cool". lol

yeah maybe there is a generational difference.. i'm also in my 30's.. we grew up with Tobacco ads, people smoking on TV, in films..  I think since the 2000's its much stricter..

 

Do you remember those commercials where they had those kids with bullhorns outside of "big tobacco's" head quarters informing the public about the tolls of smoking and how evil it was? I think those ads had a big impact on the perception issue because you're right. Ever since James Dean, smoking was considered "bad ass" and or "cool" and now it's not. It's pretty amazing.
