      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.

            autistic person here, I still don’t get why people start. Like, I get that once you start you are physically addicted by the nicotine, but why even start? You don’t look cool, you don’t look tough, you only look like a dumbass who’s gonna go broke buying cigarettes, die in their 60s, and spend a painful life while reaching it because you are always exhausted and out of breath

            Like shit, do weed or LSD, at least you’ll have a nice time, but cigarettes are just all downsides
