This is why RJR is absolutely targeting China and Asia where Americans cigs are seen as cool

Note:
US cigarette smoking rate reaches new low - Cigarette use among American adults is at the lowest it's been since the CDC started collecting data on the issue in 1965, down to 14% from over 40% in the mid-1960s, according to a new report.

I'm honestly shocked when I see anyone smoking these days. Vaping and dipping, yes, but smoking?

I'm honestly shocked at how many people I see smoking in Texas while driving down the road. I've never seen more smoking while driving than here.

I see tons of vaping while driving around here. Looks like the exhaust from a semi coming out the window.

Trumpland still smokes.

There's a certain, "you can't tell me what to do" mentality. The same people who resisted seatbelt and drunk driving laws and say that the 99% of scientists who believe in man-made climate change are wrong.

I only smoke when I drink now. So...I guess I still smoke a lot.

Yup, cigarettes are rare - kids these days are vaping at large numbers, apparently. That's what all the high school meetings are about.

My brother and his wife vape and like to say it's safer than cigarettes.


Still doesn't make it safe. Or smart. And vaping just looks stupid. If you're going to smoke, smoke.

Oh..I think it depends.

Last week, smoked outside, around a bonfire with 3 other guys. Took a shower the next morning and the wife didn't complain of me smelling like cigars.

Oh. Yeah, I can see that. Depending on the type, I can see it lingering longer. I usually go for something mild.

Weed is safer than alcohol for driving. I conducted a few experiments in this field.
