Meanwhile, I've seen more cigarette smokers in the last few weeks, than I've seen in years. And that's not hyperbole.

I've also noticed this, as a smoker, that there are waaaaay more people smoking than previously. Young people too, when before it was just older guys usually (and the two old ladies outside the massage and tarot reading joint 😂)

Exactly! And kids are getting ciggies from the same places that sell disposable vapes! They're usually cheap black market smokes from China
