The world’s view on smoking cigarettes has changed dramatically over the last century.
The habit was once considered to be cool, sexy, good for your health, and widely enjoyed by many people.
It was promoted by sportsmen, and advertised all over television. No one could be seen acting in a movie without a lit cigarette in their hand!
Today, smoking is considered to be a nasty addictive habit that can kill you and those around you.
You wont find them advertised anywhere – nor will you see anyone smoking inside a public building.
It seems that these days smokers are considered to be anti-social and are often frowned at if seen smoking outside in crowded places.
