Yes! Or wait, do you mean like in consumable media, TV shows, movies, etc? Then yes, I have noticed more smoking, and definitely vaping if the setting is contemporary. I always thought smoking was a no-no on network TV but maybe primetime gets a pass.

Do you also mean advertising influenced by “classic” cigarette ads? Then also yes, in a way. I see a lot of similarities in attitude and tonal delivery with other ads, quite often overtly sexual.

Question about the link:

I noticed the url starts with “fixupx” but when I click on it on android, it forwards me to the plain “x .com” site. Is that supposed to happen? Like, is it just a link scrubbed of trackers intended to redirect you to X, or is it’s supposed to be an archived image of the xitter post? Idk how these things all work, thanks in advance!
