I'm so glad the USA had such a strong anti-smoking campaign when I was young.
Well let's just hope the tobacco industry doesn't get the good idea to cut Elon or Trump a check...
Vapes are way more popular with younger audiences though. I don't think tobacco companies care about getting more people hooked on cigarettes anymore, and they don't need government help to make vaping more popular.
Thats a new way of thinking about smoking tho, again back in its hayday it was seen as cool, ,tough, adult, badass, rebellious, etc which is part of why it got so popular.. along with this alot of kids grew up with smoker parents (or smoker friends) so they didnt see any problem with starting themselfs
People generally start when they’re too young to really understand consequences, and there’s a tiny buzz you experience during the first few cigarettes. I think there’s an aspect of self-harm to the psychology of it as well (and obviously it is self-harm, but we don’t really think of it like cutting or something similar)
But back in the day it was cool.
