This add is a good example. From my generation, knowing the drugs these two have done, my first thought is: And you're going to tell me not to smoke? Really? Whereas someone from a later generation might be more likely to say; Does not matter, they're right.

And I can only speak for my own experience, but in the meantime, there seemed to be a time (about a decade) where people were somewhere in between. Yeah, we know it's bad, but it's bad in a too much booze is bad kind of way. For a lot of people, it might have still felt more like a vice than as something genuinely dangerous.

Plus from the way I quit, I realise it's easy for me to say, because I was never really addicted or felt that way.
For sure. I'm thankful I didn't get hooked. No credit to me. I have lot's of friends who are hooked and wished they weren't.
