I definitely think that smoking is less of a problem now among school age kids than when I was a teenager, where, it seemed we were all 'fagging it'. As I regularly pass through the hoards of kids coming home from school when I'm on my way to work I very rarely see them smoking. Unfortunately, I got hooked on ciggies as a teenager but my kids,fortunately, grew up hating them and never took it up. I can also remember my mum (who was a smoker when I was small) always taking us upstairs on the bus where she could smoke and finding the smell disgusting, I used to feel sick with all the smoke. Even as a smoker, I'm glad I don't have to sit through that anymore.
