I think most countries are already doing what must be done, focusing on young people. In France, compared to when I started to smoke 20 years ago and get hooked as an heavy smoker :
- cigarettes are not cheap anymore
- starters like fruit flavored cigarettes, 10 cigarette packets have been banished
- you mostly don't see anymore cool people chain smoking in movies, or reports (singer, etc.)
- the cigarette companies have an image a lot worst, being Marlb*'s b*tch don't really makes you a rebel nowadays
- you have far less occasions to smoke. I was smoking at lunch, inside buildings at the university, in the train !
- you could buy cigarettes at 12. I did... peach flavored.
The problem is that anti-smokers want to solve the problem quickly and definitely, or thinking that any new law, including a prohibition could solve the problem. Most have been done, and young people are smoking less, their children will have non smoking parents, mostly non smoking environment, etc.
