US and Canada have seen great decreases after big anti smoking campaigns in the 90s and laws in the 2000s. Apparently European countries have not. But I have no idea about Australia and New Zealand.

My brother quit smoking when he changed his job to one with scheduled breaks. The money he saved allowed him to upgrade from a fourth-hand shitbox to a second-hand luxury 4WD.

A lot of people who smoke at a high-demand workplace as an excuse to have a break. My advice is to have a small water bottle or drinking glass and take a break to refill it.
