Millennials smoked a lot and still do. And the more recent generations have simply moved to vapes.

So yeah, people still smoke.

    Elder millennials are the last to remember what smoking actually was. We remember restaurants with smoking and non-smoking sections. We remember a time before the "smoke break", when you didn't leave your desk to smoke, you just lit up and continued to work.

    Millennials smoke in designated outdoor smoking areas. Boomers smoked in grocery stores.

    I'm GenX and I remember smoking in grocery stores, movie theatres, offices, buses, airplanes...everywhere. People used to smoke while eating.

    I knew people who'd smoke 2 packs a day, and one guy who'd smoke 3 (basically a cigarette in his hand every minute of the day, sometimes with a second one burning in the ashtray). Having a puff while you're out drinking doesn't even count as smoking in comparison.
