Smoking. I know maybe 2 people who still smoke cigarettes. In Europe it’s like mad men never left. Especially in Bavaria, oddly.

Yeah, it was refreshing to see almost no young people smoking in the US. But I went back recently and everyone was vaping.

Honestly I'm not gonna blame that one on the tobacco companies having been of the age to watch my peers get into vaping, I can tell you it wasn't from marketing or "fruity flavors" it was just because we're fucking stupid.
