  It hasn’t been cool for over 30 years.

    It was definitely cool in the nineties. Maybe you just weren’t?

      I am so so sorry, but over 30 years already includes half the nineties.

      That said, smoking still looks cool, even now, it just smells so bad it’s not worth it

      I was a child in the 90’s but I specifically remember me and my friends being grossed out by them then.

      None of my friends as I grew up found them to be cool either since, again, they smelled like shit and were pretty gross.

      Cheers on your weird, displaced ego displaced though.

        I was a child in the 90’s, I found it cool. Hell, I still find the “last bent cigarette before going out in a blaze of glory” or the “smoking melodramatically in the rain” scenes in old movies to be cool tbh. Marketing, like nicotine, is a hell of a drug.

        Cheers to your moral superiority tho.
