The amount of cigarette glazing on the internet in the past 1-2 years is crazy to me. On Reddit, there are very thinly-veiled promotional content popping up more and more often like "taste test" videos comparing brands, and one that was a supposedly viral "come smoke with me at the park and I'll give you a free cigarette" thing. Gen Z and hopefully Gen Alpha have some of the lowest smoking rates (idk how vaping factors in or muddles those numbers), but it seems like Big Tobacco has discovered they can get around smoking advertising bans by using social marketing similar to how vape companies were sponsoring tons of influencers on tiktok. I hate it. Why are we letting them advertise this stuff that whole generations know is actually deadly and addictive. Even in this thread, there is a suspicious feeling of canvassers among the comments. Do not like...
