alt Hacker NewsIn my daily life, every day, I am behind cars with people smoking, see people on their smoke breaks outside the doors of offices and retail, walk behind people on the sidewalk smoking, and see it on basically every job site I pass.
I only bring this up because I keeping seeing people say it's "rare" in the US, but is something rare if you run into multiple times every single day?

The price of cigarettes varies widely around the US, which may affect demand. Though I thought VA is a tobacco state.

I guess we can keep arguing about the definition of rare, but about half the smoking rate of many European countries is pretty significant, and immediately noticeable walking around cities in both places. It's also a significant reduction in the US since the 90s, when every restaurant and workplace, and decent number of homes, smelled like cigarettes.
