i think one of the best parts about being a teenager in the early to mid 2010s was that cigarettes were definitely not cool anymore and vapes hadn’t popularized yet so my lungs made it out of my peak impressionable years relatively unscathed
I have such a vivid memory of being like 13, and seeing this ad on YouTube saying that they had gotten childhood smoking down to 7% in America. I was so happy for all my fellow American children. Then the following year, vaping came out.
