MODERATORS
It's a harmful activity that's about to go extinct. Almost all smokers started because it's "cool", and now it's no cooler for anyone.
You are detached. Its still cool for many groups of adolescents, at least here in Germany. Can't comprehend it, but it's real.
Probably just an American. It's not cool to smoke here any more it's cool to rip a fat vape. The amount of smokers has gone down but the amount of nicotine users is probably relatively unchanged.
Smoking went into decline long before vaping started to really take off in the US.
I dunno about Germany, if that's what you meant.
You're not wrong but the decline sharply excellerated after vaping took off. All the information is public.
I don't smoke or vape for the record I Just believe in harm reduction for those who use drugs.
