Popis: This article examines the law-conditioned transformation of smoking atmospheres through habitual smoking behaviour. Smoking experiences in Tallinn, Estonia were studied among high cultural capital smokers who have re-habituated their smoking milieus according to strengthened tobacco legislation. The study shows how in the context of the de-normalisation of smoking, certain groups of smokers will alter their smoking milieus by vigorous rearrangement of themselves and places within the legislated landscape, according to the social demands and personal subjective motivations. The study takes theoretical framework from two implications of habit: ‘forceful materialism’ and ‘performative practice’. These implications are analysed in the framework of materiality-oriented ‘lawscape’ and ‘five-event typology’, as they allow examine the extensive dimensions of re-habituation of place-based tobacco law and transformation of smoking atmospheres.
