(I don't smoke btw, but my father-in-law smokes like a chimney)

Its hard to relate cause and effects, but I see a noticeable decline in smoking among younger people, and smoking has become very uncool. People will also make a big deal about second hand smoke, for instance if you're near a bus stop or busy sidewalk you may get called out.

I don't know if anything besides medical intervention can stop a seasoned veteran smoker, though. Packaging certainly hasn't had any effect on my few family members that smoke.

In the U.S smoking has dramatically decreased, and we don't have totally insane packaging like Canada/some of the EU. [1]

Smoking has just generally fallen by the way side worldwide.
