Smokers were 2.6% in the U.S. in 1900. The big difference was the U.S. government promoted smoking. They gave U.S. soldiers cigarettes in World War I. The in the 1920's, it was promoted as feminist for women to smoke.
By the way, they already knew smoking tobacco was bad for you by the time of Shakespeare.

The movie had some amusing moments, IIRC - including the way his character dealt with the challenge of going "cold turkey".
