More widespread and acceptable but that doesn’t mean that individuals are smoking more, just that more people are indulging. Even that may not be a large, overall increase from the studies I’ve seen. The main effect of legalization in our area was that it was no longer hidden.

More widespread means more people are smoking. And culturally now it's seen as normal as alcohol.

Kids here smoke as soon as they start high school, that's around 12-13 years. After a couple years they gather before school starts to smoke, then go to class, then smoke again.
