I live in the US tobacco smoking is much lower here, but everytime I visit anywhere in Europe, the smoking just destroys it for me. Its like people are smoking everywhere, hopefully those percenatages go down, the stuff just ruins your body
Don't believe every statistic you see on the internet. Especially if it's a US government source lol. I'm also from the US. If you were to ask me, I would tell you that one out of 10 people smoke and I'm being very generous with this number.
You can read up on nicotine ( the substance not tobacco) It’s a nootropic. Basically it’s been scientifically proven to help with memory, focus, preventing Alzheimer. A lot of people discover after stopping that they have depression symptoms or even Adhd for which nicotine works as self medication.
Say what ?!
Romania at very least has way higher stats than that .
What , did the survey ask 16 year olds scared that their moms will find their confession ?
I wish it was true but it isn’t. Another stupid survey taken in a very small specific group of people. It’s crazy that we have know the damage that smoking dose for hundred of years now and we still smoke. It doesn’t make sense.
The number of smokers in France is shocking if we consider the price per packet is 15€ when in Spain it's 5.50€ and in Greece 4.50€. So neither the price nor the neutral - completely black packets are deterring the french from smoking.
Fucking more on Turkey, we are the worst in tobacco usage. I've never smoked in my life but I can tell that all my clothes and coats smells like cigarette smoke
For anyone else struggling to quit with helper products: going cold turkey is 4 days of insanity and after that it's manageable. If possible, quarantine yourself away from work and family for the first two days of rage. 3rd day there's jitters, a lot of them. 4th is straight up visions (as in waking dreams with your eyes open ) of you inhaling cigarettes. On the 5th day sanity is restored.
Does vaping count as tobacco use? Because loads of people here vape instead nowadays. In fact people are vaping at higher numbers than those who used to smoke 10-15 years ago.
nah that isnt true my father used to work in the tobacco industry and according to their studies the smoking rate in albania has grown a lot these past years where even almost 50% of women 18+ are smokers
MigratingPenguin@reddit
Did they count chewing tobacco for the Nordics?
altonaerjunge@reddit (OP)
Tobacco yes, nicotine no.

In 2022 one in five Americans reported tobacco use.

That's on a par with the UK, so please don't generalise the whole of Europe was if we're all worse than the US for this.
Competitive-Loan-759@reddit
I thought US smoking rates were TWICE the UK, but that it’s less visible because poor people smoke in the US so many people are sheltered from it

Adventurous-Pause720@reddit
People in the states tend to smoke in more secluded manners, so it comes off as less.
Also, perhaps this is an Anglo thing, but that’s still lower than mainland Europe.
cannacom@reddit
The US is such a great country, we should all be more like them.
First-Egg-713@reddit
I smoked daily for like 2 years. Thankfully i stopped when i realized how incredibly stupid it was. Theres is no upside to smoking whatsoever.
Spending money to intentionally kill yourself while making you look 10 years older and smell like shit.
plushyeu@reddit
The upside is nicotine, and it has many beneficial effects. The negative part is that the only safe way to consume it is NRT ( gum, patch, inhaler ).
Even though the NRT is minimal if no damage, i had to stop it since it disrupts your dopamine cycles and makes you a slave always looking for a fix.
kotarak69@reddit
Beneficial effects? You serious?
