Soldiers used to smoke often in historical footage, so why don’t they anymore?

Today's military is very fitness-oriented. Unhealthy vices such as smoking and drinking excessively are frowned upon, especially among leadership.

As recently as the 80’s NFL players would smoke in locker rooms at halftime. As recently as the 90’s NBA players would smoke in the locker room. You will find no more fit people than professional athletes. Smoking has almost zero effect on a young healthy person.

recently the Navy decommissioned the SSN San Francisco
and held a ceremony on Keyport at the Museum, the uniform was ice cream suits. The officers looked pretty lean. the EM however didn’t look as if they had missed too many meals.
