Inspired by another question on this community about “the first time you drank alcohol”, so I was just feeling like I’m the odd one out here.
I personally have never smoked (neither tobacco nor weed), never drank any alcohol. (Parents also don’t do smoking, or drinking, or gambling so I kinda got lucky with the environment I grew up in, I guess…) Is that unusual? Gen Z btw.
Elder millennial. I think we were the last gen where cigarettes, booze, and drugs were seen as “cool”. Younger people seemed to have figured it out early how much of a fucking waste of time and money all three are.
Who is drinking because they think it makes them look cool? Drinking at home isn’t to impress others.

I agree with you on the nicotine and alcohol, but you will have to pry my pot from my cold dead hands.
I’d agree with the “cool” factor for drugs and booze, and maybe it’s regional or class-based, but cigarettes always seemed trashy when I was growing up
