The group of people who exit the adult population each year has a smaller number of individuals and a larger percentage of smokers than the group entering the adult population. So, smoking rates will decline even if nobody quits.

Actually, the proportion of smokers over age 65 (when the vast majority of deaths occur) is lower than the proportion of smokers among young adults. Deaths have very little effect on the smoking rate, it's how many young adults take it up that matters.
