Quoted from TheLaw:It's insane now when you think aboot all the smoking in public places that used to happen. I don't even mean 50/60s style shit the 80s it was everywhere. Just 30 people smoking away in a restaurant for breakfast, lunch, & dinner.
We've replaced that with smartphones! Here's to hoping we look back at these little devices in the same way in 30 years. (not in regards to health issues, just in regards to pervasiveness)
Quoted from Puffdanny:Gave up cigarettes about 25 years ago but I do enjoy an occasional cigar and I haven't missed a day with some herb since the day i quit smoking cigarettes.
for you would you say it's about the aesthetic of smoking? Like could you replace smoking weed with edibles and be fine with that?
Here is an ad circa 1994 framing it as TOLERANT to keep smoking spaces in restaurants, courtesy Philip Morris Incorporated.

Never forget for every year smoking was considered normal, the way things are, good business, heck even GOOD FOR YOU ("3 out of 4 doctors prefer this brand for the Invigorating flavor!",) there was a billion* dollar machine in advertising, campaign donations, research suppression, etc, to maximize profits and keep that the status quo.

Quoted from o-din:This is Ron. He is almost 60 years old and smokes a pack of Pall Mall reds a day. So perhaps it is mind over matter?
Sadly, no. It's statistics.
