This chart has been floating around, and I find it interesting to speculate about the reason for this shift.

Have attitudes changed this much? Do teens have less independence or fewer places to go to do these things? Are parents more involved in teens’ lives? Was vaping excluded in the study?

    Guessing that “smoking cigarettes” doesn’t include vaping. But, it’s definitely true that cigarettes are seen as a lot less cool nowadays. I am surprised there aren’t more kinds drinking regularly… I think here in the UK the picture would be different, parents are a lot less bothered about drinking here in my experience.
