Australia foresees end of `smoking epidemic' by 2030

Smoking will be virtually extinct in Australia within 25 years and more frowned upon than spitting in the street, according to researchers who have scientifically mapped the end of the smoking epidemic.
A study by Curtin University in Western Australia suggests that women will be the first to stop for good.

Statistically, there will be no female smokers in Australia by 2029, while men will take a year longer to kick the habit. The study coincides with figures that show Australia has the lowest smoking rate of any industrialized country, and possibly the lowest in the world.

That's hard to imagine in the US! With all the children I see smoking in every State in every place I travel!

1. until they end campaign contributions by corporations nothing will change

a corporation does not make contributions.. the ceo and board of directors who have already maxed out their own 'Personal" contributions.. illegally steal stockholders money without notifying them and make bribes to elected officials for "Special Favors"

2. All over Seattle you can see cartoon cigarette ads in store windows.

Child high and facing outward. I guess a Whore journalist could go look for themselves. It's all over the city in every location I went to. Disgraceful Nation!
