Everybody knows smoking kills the smokers and that it is extremely difficult to convince smokers to quit.
Smoking is bad for all age groups.
Smoking and availability restrictions for young people only reinforces the appeal of smoking. Many know that youngsters difficultly resist the lure of glamorous tobacco propaganda. Few people know that the cost of smoking is much higher than any revenue in taxes. Yet smokers seem to assume they may smoke everywhere and at any time when it is not expressly forbidden. Much attention is paid to the evil of the tobacco industry and their valued customers.
