Why smoking has become socially unacceptable?

Answer 1

Anti smoking campaigners were getting nowhere informing people about the health risks, so they set about working on a bigger risk. Failure to meet social norms; fitting in is important to the human psyche. Social norms differ from country to country, which is why American visitors to France, Ireland or even the UK are often appalled that the level of social unacceptability of smoking in those countries isn't the same as at home.

Answer 2

Now, more people are aware of the negative effects of smoking and just how negative they can be, so naturally, more people feel the need to show how they don't accept the habit and won't tolerate when they don't want to. Back then, less people were educated to the negative effects and sometimes, the effects were hidden for fear of sales dropping, and this kind of practice was seen as acceptable to many more than it is now.

Answer 3

Smoking is no longer very socially acceptable. Workplaces don't allow it due to increased 'sick days' the smoker may take and the higher cost for health insurance. Malls, restaurants and bars don't allow it with increasing frequency. People don't want smokers in their homes or around their children. Landlords may not want to rent to smokers because of tobacco damage to walls and carpets, not to mention higher insurance rates. In the US, smokers make up 1/4th of the population, making it difficult for a smoker to find a potential mate other than another smoker.

Smoking harms other people, too. Second hand smoke? It's not a joke and additionally goes by the name of passive smoking and environmental tobacco smoke, alluding to the cigarette smoke that is exhaled by smokers. Secondhand smoke kills thousands of people by lung cancer and Heart disease. If you live with a smoker, you are smoking secondhand and are at an increased risk for all the maladies that smokers are vulnerable to. Smoking mothers have been shown an increase instance in Asthma for their unborn fetus. Sudden Infant Death Syndrome and low birth weight infants are attributed to smoking while pregnant. Babies born into smoking homes are more susceptible to bronchitis, colds, ear infections and other respiratory illnesses. Dizziness, nausea, headaches and eye irritation are all effects that can be ascribed to secondhand smoking.
