"They are afraid to try outright banning of tobacco, so they are trying to make no one want it."
Toob, that is precisely what they want to do (at least here in the UK). I genuinely think that in about ten to fifteen years time smoking in all its forms will be a mere memory.
They have already started the ball rolling and bit by bit they are nibbling their way to total banishment. The pro smoking lobby group FOREST* used to be quite vocal on the subject but either through media suppression or just apathy we never hear a whisper from them nowadays.
The times are indeed a'changing and we should all be afraid, very afraid.

Jay
