I don't smoke, but I don't mind other people smoking as long as they do it outdoors. The image of smoking has become rather tarnished in the past decade. Today, the most common smoker seems to be low paid women. Doesn't really attract people in the same way as the models in the tobacco ads of the 1960's. Which is a good thing, in my humble opinion.
Tobacco carries a warning label, "Causes cancer", and has done so for a good many years. Tobacco ads are illegal. Alcohol ads used to be illegal too, but this ban was lifted a earlier this year. Workers here normally use "snus" (tobacco you put in your mouth) rather than cigarettes.
I myself - just like half the people of this country - is addicted to coffe. On cup in the morning, one after lunch and at least two in the afternoon... (We don't have decaf here, luckily.)
