I recently attended a leadership course for executives. Attendees came from around the globe- 23 of us. One factor that immediately stood out was that not one of us smoked.

Many of the characters in today's movies smoke like fiends as I am sure Hollywood is being well paid to have them do so.
This influences younger viewers
Actually movies and TV shows have increased the amount of smoking shown even by the good guys.
It's noticeable.

36, bmi 19.5, cholesterol < 4.0, testosterone ~760, never smoked and don't drink. Parents always cooked meals from scratch. The only way I could be more healthy is if I moved out of the city away from pollution. A number of weeks ago I ran 18:14 and was so annoyed with the time I asked parkrun to delete it.

I know, that's why I had it deleted. Understand now, nerd?

The butthurt on this forum never ceases to amaze me. Being healthy now attracts derision. The sad thing is, evil runner is probably a middle aged American man. One of the most unhealthy, most unattractive group of people in the world.

Cholesterol seems high. BMI sounds weak. Running sounds hobbysloggist. Do you have any income or do your parents still cook for you?

Ehh, the same people who talk about "moral decay" are the same people who long for decades past when smoking was the norm.

This! It is ridiculous how much smoking features in movies & streaming shows.
I watched a scifi show where people are dying of 'vape lung' in the future 🤣

In decades past, women reaching for a “Lucky” instead of a treat to keep their slim figure was the norm. Now we are fed fat acceptance.

let me communicate the thoughts of my generation. vaping is bad for you. cigarettes are also bad for you. vaping is lame (see: millennials) , cigarettes are cool (see: oppenheimer). but if you smoke cigarettes all the time, you will stink. solution: only drunk cigarettes. the zoomers you saw smoking had to be drunk. regular zoomer smokers/the nicotine fiends get their fix from vapes or zyns for the convenience and stealthiness.

It isn't "popular" again, but it's hit the point where it's rebellious so I see a few people doing it for that reason

My Gen Z coworker had a ZYN tin can out at his desk. No idea what that is

This is a really interesting statement and I can't believe it got upvoted 10x because it's like the worst argument ever.11 -
Y'all in this thread didn't get bullied enough. Sure smoking is bad but who fkn cares? Life is short. Even as a runner the occasional drunk cig won't kill you. Enjoy the moment and stop being babies.

nicotine was on it's way out till they told people it was mango flavored. Nicotine vapes, both disposable and refillable caught on big time in the mid 2010's all the way down to the middle school level. After that Zyns (pouches) came back. Now we have people ripping straight ciggies again. real gross stuff. habit usually starts as a drunk cig and builds from there.
