Smoking Is a Dying Habit. Not in Germany. (www.wsj.com)

Health experts think low tobacco prices, a general tolerance of smoking and changes brought by the pandemic may explain the uptick in cigarette use.

Hate to break it to you but humanity, or any of its societies, do not qualify as "evolved". We are still squabbling as petty nation states over the minuscule resources of the planet, all the while we are letting it die of greedy neglect. All of mankind but the select few are toiling away in obscurity, systematically excluded from the fruits of their labor.

Where are you getting "evolved" society?

Evolution is the result, I agree with you that we're still behind, discussions like this about smoking I think are indicative of how we actually live.
