Now that i think about it, I don't know a single person who smokes. Not one. Including all the old people i know. I know a couple of people who smoke like less than a pack per year, which is fine. It so hard to believe i don't know even a single smoker. Mind blowing.

That's great news! As an ex-smoker, I struggled for years to quit. And I still crave one every now and then. I've been clean for 12+ years.
