Health experts think low tobacco prices, a general tolerance of smoking and changes brought by the pandemic may explain the uptick in cigarette use.

Smoking went into decline long before vaping started to really take off in the US.

I dunno about Germany, if that's what you meant.

You're not wrong but the decline sharply excellerated after vaping took off. All the information is public.

I don't smoke or vape for the record I Just believe in harm reduction for those who use drugs.
