So this is all just my personal assertion, but there's a correlation between the decline in tobacco use and the decline in intellectualism and increase in PC culture in America. The shift started in the 1960's, specifically 1964, and this also coincides with communist-motivated attacks on American culture.
There's also been a similar but less apparent shift in the American drinking culture since from the 60's on.
Take it or leave it, but it's really interesting how those three factors track in American history.
