Are there less people smoking these days?

I dont see as many people smoking these days and also a lot less butt's on the ground. Would you think that smoking is not as common as it was?

Less smoking in general and the kids are vaping these days.
Over €15 for a pack of fags these days is crazy.

Thats why I gave a 25 year. 20 a day habit 2 years ago.
I do like the smell of a cigarette when passing someone on the street but that's very rare nowadays.
