Why is drinking considered more sophisticated than smoking?

Because the gov and media went on a campaign to show smoking in a bad light. Persuasive ads, studies, you’re taught smoking is bad in school, and general disgust for smokers. That worked :smugdraper:

Now, drinking kills a ton of people too, but because nearly everybody drinks, society has brushed it under the rug :drunk:

I used to smoke cigs and drink heavily. I quit drinking and cigs years ago, but I still use a Juul on occasion. Vaping is more more socially acceptable, I guess due to no smoke

Government didn't do the same thing with Prohibition?

I dunno breh, smoking seems like the setup to some legit conversation.

The old black and white movies made smoking seem like a sophisticated gathering, while folks that drink look like some savages :hhh:.

are we talking about weed or all smoking?

i would say 1 because weed is illegal in most states still 2. marketing especially marketing in social settings and 3. The evil side of alcohol is swept under the rug - health issues, binging/benders, addiction, and crime (3 million violent crimes per year under the influence of alcohol)

if we talking all smoking... cigars are seen as sophisticated to some but cigarettes are fukking disgusting

vaping>>>

Yeah, and it failed miserably. People like to drink, and nobody can stop them. I guess it’s like weed now. People like to get high, and the government is adapting by legalizing it in specific states

Fukk cigarette smokers, but especially the ones who don't have the common decency to do that shyt in spots where they're not poisoning other people with their crackhead level habit.

Nobody with high yellow teeth and breath that smells like bus exhaust is going to be considered sophisticated.
