What will be the future of Cigars

I believe it was about 7 years ago when the government decided to have a strict regulation on NO SMOKING in public places, such as malls, public jeeps and banks. Since then, I noticed a significant drop of smokers or it was just because I am not surrounded of smokers. Also, a good thing is this e-cigars that I see on malls that is said to replace the ever polluting and health threatening cigars. However, my friend says, it doesn't seem to fit a smokers taste. I guess those who are willing to quit would try this but it would certainly not as best tasting as the premium cigars.
