The UK has seen a stratospheric drop too. Banned from all non-private indoor spaces, taxed through the roof. At least in the South, it's rare to see or even smell someone smoking now, even on TV. Although in some cities it's just as likely to smell cannabis as tobacco.

I don't think you're "exporting it" though - it's not an American initiative. This was a pretty universal shift of "why the fuck do we do this stupid shit?"
