Here is the problem with every anti-smoking campaign: Smoking, fundamentally, just looks and feels cool. Also: Addiction always creates an economy of need, and a specific kind of currency between addicts. This can take on very ugly forms, but it also (as in most drinking & smoking cultures) can take the form of a kind of reciprocal altruism. And smoking, like drinking, has tangible social benefits - only in a wider range of venues, especially including the workplace.
