The number of people using tobacco continues to decline despite industry attempts to jeopardize progress towards stamping out cigarettes and other such products, the World Health Organization (WHO) said in a report published on Tuesday.
I’ve been surprised in recent years how much more smoking has subtly popped back up in media. Most times it’s also not in a way that applies to the plot or illuminates anything you didn’t already know about a character.
Also in sports, things like Nickelodeon getting so involved with the NFL for kids with cartoon recreations of games, etc. They are propping up a new generation of sports hero role models in people like Joe Burrow. For awhile, he’d be celebrating all their victories with trashy cigar parties in the locker room, as like, a kid in his early 20s who just got slimmed by Nickelodeon a few days before?
It’s been pretty odd to see the resurgence in media in the last decade plus.
