    Did UK people smoke much more back then? I recently went on vacation to Germany and was appalled at how acceptable it is there. Here in the Netherlands we have a program called “Smoke-free generation”, which forbids smoking in places that children often visit, such as schools and sports fields. From what I heard, the bottom kinda fell out when vaping became popular under teenagers.

      Yes, loads. I think you could still smoke on planes but not totally sure. Absolutely nobody vaped it was all ciggies, and they were WAY cheaper. There weren’t the scary signs on them, they had branded packs and loads more people smoked. I remember the smoking ban in pubs coming in, it was controversial
