I dunno how this works in other countries but the main reason the government isn't actively telling people to stop smoking is because we have to pay a good 4 euro's tax over a 5 euro pack of cigarettes. If everyone stopped smoking in this country at this very moment, our economy would collapse. And that's not even a joke, thats a fact.
Heh. That's a bit like how my state (Victoria) ended up with several hundred million less in the budget than they were expecting because people started respecting the speed limits and stopped getting fined.
