public dislike of Big Tobacco in U.S. during '90s translates to effective legislation

You had such events as Henry Waxman's House Energy and Commerce Committee holding hearings and issuing subpoenas to tobacco executives who subsequently testified and basically made fools of themselves (the seven executives who were called the "seven dwarfs" in pop culture). You had the Joe Camel cartoon ads which perhaps not intended for children, ended up being popular with children. And there was a number of other things going on. I mean, Big Tobacco was pretty unpopular. It was 'a moment' which perhaps lasted several years.

Okay, so still respecting the right of an adult to smoke if he or she chooses, how might this have translated to effective legislation?
