Not true... Very high taxes on butts in both Mass. and California have
decreased the smoking percentages by quite a  bit in those states. That and
the segragating of smokers in bars and restaurants (MA) and elimination of
smokers in both in CA... it is actually quite nice wandering around in
public these days and quite noticable when you do run across (over?) a
smoker. Kind of like following a 65 ChevyII with no pollution controls....
You smell it.
