Smoking Is a Dying Habit. Not in Germany. (www.wsj.com)

Health experts think low tobacco prices, a general tolerance of smoking and changes brought by the pandemic may explain the uptick in cigarette use.

Single use vapes seem to be everywhere these days here in Germany. Plus they have been advertised by influencers at the beginning of the pandemic, directly to underage children. Glad they forbid that at the beginning of 2021.

Interesting and appalling, which Influencers did that?

I don't follow them, so can't give the names. The problem continues because now they just use them in a stylish way without directly advertising them. Here is a article about swiss influencers. In Switzerland is is still legal it seems.
