When does it started ? Do you have law prohibiting smoking in public place like restaurant, transports, nigth club, office, etc ?

Because, while it’s true we see less smokers in movies, it’s the first time i hear US having a anti-smoking culture... Note that I include drugs like weed in the smoking culture and we heard a lot from it recently. And only from US.

On my country, since the 90’, it’s forbiden to smoke in public place, in the office, etc. They also increased a lot it’s price bia taxes, put labels on the packaging and the amount of smokers reduced a lot since. But hollywood still represent us as smoker ^^

Pretty much this. From the late 80's more and more smoking bans were put into place. Public buildings, any private business, public transport, etc.

It's at the point now that the only places you can smoke are your own house (even the apartment buildings I've been to have no smoking rules. Like, even in your own apartment) or outside (as long as it's x feet/meters away from a building's entrance).
