Did some of you people grow up in barns out in the Midwest? Cigarettes are not associated with “bad” kids. It’s not the 1950s. It’s more females than males who smoke. Some do it instead of eating, some do it because it helps during a really stressful incident, some are social smokers who only smoke at parties with alcohol. It’s not like the old days but some kids still smoke. They tend to quit after college when they go into the adult world.
I hope fentanyl isn’t at colleges, that’s sad. Cocaine has been on campuses for decades, so has Molly and for the studious kids methamphetamines.
It may be there, but not every kid sees it, and it is easy to get through college without any of that crap.

You're speaking of addiction?
What are the odds that a few uses will turn into regular college use? And then turn into long-term addiction?
I know very little about any of this but my child has high school classmates who are using in college.

It is a top 20 school thing.
The schools with rich kids apparently do this based on what the kids are saying.

My college kid and high schooler are nerdy introverts who surround themselves with other nerdy introverts and neither go to parties, so they haven't seen any of it with their own eyes, but I can well believe it exists. Exposure just depends on which circles you move in...
So the choice is cocaine cowboy vs. incel? I’m not sure which I’d prefer for my kid.
