Well, we can't be sure can we. But I can imagine a couple of thousand people marching down the road protesting 20 or 30 years ago. What what we have known for a long time though is that smoking is dangerous. And we haven't exactly tackled the problem head on have we? The Government has deliberately treated the matter in this slow but sure way so that they get people on side slowly but surely. Look at the way it's been done ! It's taken years - decades even, when it could have been done much much faster - if they had wanted to.
