Pretty much most people I know are college educated and I know a few smokers still. A couple are social smokers who only really smoke while drinking. Only one smokes enough to take smoke breaks at work. Lots of people on vapes and zyn in the office otherwise. Nicotine is still compelling enough on its own and plenty of people actually like the act of smoking a cigarette.
Interesting; I wonder if this is generational? I'm Gen-X, and no one in my age group smokes unless they're lower-class. It seems, from my observation, that the younger generations in the US have actually been taking up smoking a lot more than the people in my age group.
