If you hear or see something enough times, no matter how repulsive & obviously dangerous & bad for you, you can become conditioned to accept it. Even glamorize it in your mind...

Efforts to drive down the smoking rate have worked: We're at a 75-year low for smoking and a 25-year low for vaping. Now the CDC office credited with some of that work is gone.
I met with teens in West Virginia who were sad to see their anti-vaping group cut:

This is why they always say the right time to quit is now. I'm not an antismoking account or an antismoking person, I respect the right of all to have bodily autonomy & I have understanding for the nature of addiction & the pleasure addictive substances provide.
Your body begins healing from the damage of tobacco smoke from the moment of your cessation of smoking. If you smoke more, you damage your body further. When you stop, your body immediately gets to work healing & recovering, evident in things like the kind of mucus from your lungs.

Smoking never went away & is never going away. People have stayed smoking tobacco. Like me even though I wish I wasn't. It will never be as ubiquitous in the mainstream as it was before science came out & antismoking campaigns did their work on the culture. There will still be smokers. Calm down.
