So what would discourage you. How about if over the next 5 years or so government regulation forced tobacco companies to make cigarettes taste *really really* bad, gradually introduced over the period, while at the same time reducing gradually the addictive substances in the cigarettes. So by about the 3rd year the bad taste should out weigh the addictiveness, and people won't WANT to smoke any more.!
