I smoke cigarettes all day and weed all night, and I love mushrooms, but only on weekends, and LSD on special occasions, and xanax for anxiety, but just like every other day, man, being sober rules! I can't believe everyone isn't sober at this point, like how dare you have a drink like a fiend, being sober and smoking weed is the way live! Also, I couldn't live without cigarettes!"

Please stop smoking and start drinking again, Joe.

I've never been cool enough to smoke

Again, disgusting anyway, though.

I have smoked exactly one cigar in my entire life. So, I've never been a smoker of any kind. But it's been wild to watch this city, in which smoking vanished for the better part of a decade plus, embrace the habit again.

Everyone I worked with in NYC only smoked so they could take breaks from work. One time I went to the gym during work for 45 mins and got in trouble. The city just promotes unhealthy behavior.

Smoking had really diminished when I moved here. From 2007 to 2017 there was a huge decrease. To the point that when I ran into someone smoking it was weird.

But now there's this sort of backlash to prior generations and it's getting bigger again.

Considering the state of things in the world, I’m thinking this is a Guilty Remnant situation. Let us know when they start wearing white.
