@@lunar686 Nah in theory they'll live longer (there are some studies that suggest if you're currently under the age of 40, you could live to be 140) BUT tanning is still in trend. There's nothing that ages you faster than excessive tanning in your teens and 20s. 30s is still considered a young adult, but if someone tans constantly in their teens and early 20s, by the time they hit their late 20s and early 30s, the effects of the tanning WILL begin to show and thus they'll feel like they "lost their youth" or "are past their prime".

Most kids go to school where they can’t go outdoors for breaks without sun protection (millennials onwards) so generally only people that ‘tan without the can’ here are all the tourists lmao. I’m guessing it’s different elsewhere in the world. It would be interesting to know whether people had worse outcomes from sun exposure or smoking? I’m quite sure most of the effects of smoking are reversible if you quit early enough (I think research suggests 7 years), but I’m not sure if the same is true for sun exposure.

Lol I’m not defending the addiction, but we live in a world where people who drink alcohol are ‘concerned’ about the lung health of smokers without realising their own bad habit of choice is far worse (the reason you smell alcohol on the breath is because it’s in the lungs), and one of the worst things you can do is feel prolonged stress, even many athletes have ‘bad’ teeth due to the bone mineral loss 😓...I guess what I’m trying to say is health is more complex than ‘this bad/that good’, might be better to promote how many of the ill effects of behaviours like smoking are reversible, because one of the main reasons people don’t quit is they actually don’t experience many of the ‘aesthetic’ side effects

Dude on this note I was at a dollar tree once, there was this women with a baby. We thought she was the grandmother. But then we heard her arguing with her mom on the phone about her smoking addiction. Her mom was on speaker and she dropped the ladies age. Said she was 26. Also said shed been smoking since she was 10. The mom was begging her to just stop and see how serious this is. This women looked insanely old. Leathery, thin, wrinkled, just old and her voice was shot. Like I can't help but wonder if it was a social experiment considering the speaker phone and her mom casually bringing up her age and stuff. But she reaked and looked like she was aged by smoking. I'll never know I guess, but it was concerning to see.

Its all about the type of media and influences you are exposed to at a critical moment of you brain development. Although smoking has always been framed somehow as smth cool and chic, in the last 10/20 years this framing wasn’t as prevalent as in the previous generations and as it is now thanks to tiktok and pop culture in general. If you see it over and over as smth “cool” and glamurous (even if in a trashy way you can portray glamour) more than as a harmful, kinda sickly and gross way, then ofc your perception of it is gonna lean more towards “I want to reproduce this in my life”

As a Gen Z woman, I am so sad about this. I started noticing this trend after hearing about some K-pop artists I like smoking. I always try to tell myself, "If they're not doing it near me, I shouldn't freaking care," but the thing is that people not doing this near me yet sharing it to social media and stuff can lead others, specially younger kids, to think that it's "just a cool thing" and that worries me. I'm still "coping" with knowing that my older brother smokes, even though he never does in front of me or the rest of my family, and he's super stressed from work and other stuff in his life.

@@HM-nt7vr it’s not exactly a ‘trend’, if it wasn’t so deadly it would actually be the best treatment option. Oh, I wrote a comment a few minutes ago on this video, I tried going a lil more in depth on that point if you were interested and had the time to view it (more regarding the utility for mental health). It’s that many in your generation have rather severe mental health challenges, reducing rates of smoking and other substance addiction, means fixing the problems that cause it. At least in the early stages of the addiction, smoking is a ‘symptom’, not a ‘cause’. It will very much become a cause of some severe health issues, but it’s one of the few addictions people can quit early enough and return to normal health as if they never started. The trick is learning how smoking assists each person, and substitute it with something that will improve their lives in both the moment and the long term

@lunar686 I read your comment, and I do agree with you to some extent, but there's another aspect to this situation: not everyone has a mental health condition. Being a part of this generation, I know that a lot of us do indeed struggle with our mental health. I do so myself. But, more than anything, I can't stop thinking about those who don't struggle with it, especially the very young and impressionable children that are now being introduced to the internet even earlier than Gen Z did, that have no idea that that is what's going on, so they start mimicking these behaviors thinking that it simply looks cool. To them, it will just be a trend until they realize they're putting their health on the line for the sake of wanting to fit in and be cool like the people they see on the internet. I have a nephew in his early teens, and I'm worried about the type of things he'll see and be influenced by. Of course, he has parents who do their best to monitor what he consumes, but, realistically, it's not (always) enough. And, though, like you said, if we were to take all the negative impacts from smoking, it'd actually make a fair treatment for certain mental health issues, that's not the case. So the people that "self-medicate" with smoking are unfortunately just adding another problem to their own lives in the long run. It's all bad, no matter how I look at the situation. All I can hope is that we can realize what harm we are causing ourselves early on because I don't want to see the future that our present is cutrently leading us to.

I quit nicotine a moment ago (44 days clean!) because I just couldn’t afford it anymore and I had just taken up running again so I need my lungs in the best condition they possibly could be. Something I instantly noticed was the almost snarky comments from my friends how I’m suddenly in my ”healthy girl era” and it almost made me feel like I’m doing something to quit addiction at the wrong time, that right now when we are glamorizing the unhealthy lifestyle, replacing meals with nic for weight loss etc., I could have just continued for a year or so and then quit. Happy to say I have lost more weight in my ”healthy girl era” than in the many years of my ”nicotine for breakfast era”.

I've resisted 24 years and told everyone smoking is bad to get addicted after my mental breakdown caused by death of my grandma. For me it's truly is not aesthetic, it's an unhealthy way to cope and narrow my stress

But it has always looked so cool to me, especially in old gangster films, so even though i know i will never smoke or want a partner who's a heavy smoker, i do find myself conflicted sometimes on this subject. But at the same time, hearing about emma chamberlain's secret vape addiction, it did piss me off, because it is the same with plastic surgery, i would just rather people tell us they do that than be hypocrites

The public isn’t owed any information, Emma is not a hypocrite for not sharing a struggle. If she openly condemned smoking/lied about smoking, that’s a different thing - same with plastic surgery (though I would differentiate with plastic surgeries and portraying certain beauty standards). Addictions are incredibly personal

I hate hate hate smoking because it destroyed my mom's health. I see the effects it has on her and let me tell you that it is not aesthetic or beautiful (and we're french ._.) Everyone can do as they please, as long as I don't have to breath the smoke myself inside or that they don't throw cigarettes in the street I don't care. I'll just be worried if the person is close to me. But seeing people starting because of socials makes me sad. They'll definitly regret it. I thought smoking wasn't seen as "cool" anymore and that less and less people from younger generations were doing it... Big support to everyone dealing with this and trying to get better.

Find fun activities and goals where smoking and drugs would get in the way of enjoying it (not just from an ‘external’ no-smoking law kinda thing, but from an ‘internal’ motivation like difficulty hiking lol). Remember that those early 00s ‘intervention’ shows where connection was threatened caused more harm than good, and definitely didn’t change the behaviour at all

Such an interesting topic.... I've been thinking about how smoking became a trend again recently as well. I see a lot of people around me start smoking or vaping, even though they've been those people who never wanted to start. I myself feel a lot, how attractive smoking seems. Still, I am glad I can keep myself away from smoking. I can see myself how I'd use cigarettes and vapes to cope. So yeah... pretty interesting I think, thanks for uploading ❤

It’s sad that these people think smoking is ‘cool’ or ‘aesthetic’ when there are literally people who are depressed and suicidal that used smoking as a coping mechanism. As a person who started smoking at a very young age and the result was so quick (I suffered GERD that can be caused by smoking), this needs to stop.

Zoe, thank you for always wording everything so well. You always get such valid issues and points across in a respectful but still truthful way ❤ Love your videos!

The timing of this video interacts with my life in an interesting way. A few days ago, a member of my family who has been smoking for about half a century had a health scare, had to have emergency surgery, and is now awaiting test results. We're praying it's not cancer, but statistically it probably is. She's a very loving and involved grandmother a few times over, but they are all very young. If she dies now, they won't remember her. She's always been model thin, and for as long as I can remember, her biggest reason for not quitting smoking was a disproportionate fear of weight gain. Now, her biggest fear is that she might die decades early, and never get to watch her beloved grandbabies grow up. That's what the young women who jump into this trend are getting into. Don't do it- because it all seems fine until it's too late. Everyone thinks it won't happen to them. She thought it wouldn't happen to her, because none of her siblings have ever had cancer- but it can and will happen to ANYONE. 😢

I'm still trying to get over the notion that cigarettes are cool from high school in the early 00s. Knowing how harmful it is, I don't understand why this is cool now

Out of curiosity, what possesses a person to smoke like AT ALL? Especially for these types of "once in a while, social smokers". Is it not absolutely disgusting, smelly, vile, and gag-enducing to breathe that toxic smoke in? In some ways I can understand when someone is addicted and just can't stop themselves, but the people who only do it once in a while... how are you able to ignore the complete NASTINESS of ciggs? I don't agree with vaping either, but at least it can smell like cotton candy or something pleasant.

this time last year the "lets confuse the vape addicts using pics of 40th birthdays" and "i might be trash but at least i dont smoke" was all over the internet and now we're just reverting in an exhausting cycle of chasing curated aesthetics. we need a reality check

We end up romantizing the wrong things and it can lead to some really nasty effects.

Anyone who doesn't smoke shouldn't start. It is insidious. I haven't smoked in nearly 15 years and i STILL catch myself wanting a cigarette. Smoking is also a lame and stupid of rebellion.

Love her videos ☁️

I literally just smoked when I was a teen to look edgy and like Effy/the girls from Thirteen. Thanks God it never developed as an addiction so when the phase was over, smoking was easily over. Soooo thankful!!

I was vaping for a year and a half, quit because i'm afraid of premature aging (sadly i was the main reason). I fell down the rabbit hole very slowely, from one vape lasting me a month to needing a new one every 1-2 weeks :( So happy I'm clean for a half a year now. But the process of giving up was horrendous... We all know about lung cancer and aging, but for some reason nobody tells about psychological side-effects. It is horrendous how nicotine messes up your dopamine and other receptors, the longer you smoke, the more you irreversibly mess up your brain... When i first quit i was so angry, infocused, aggressive all the time, I couldnt work and would gain some weight.. I am so happy i quit.

As a person thats ben a kid in the 90s. Where 16 year olds only started smoking because it was cool. I'm seriously worried about this coming back.

yet another example of "it's trashy/gross when poor/marginalized ppl do it, but cool/sexy when rich/attractive ppl do it"

I quit smoking around 3 weeks ago and it has been hard because of the estetic that makes you want to do it just to feel included. Now it sounds mainstream and basic so tnx for that

I kind of feel like beauties with a cigarette gives “feminine fragility” because we know in 10-20 years, she’s going to look like every other smoker

Why are we always declining like why?

I recently moved to the US as a french exchange student. In France, almost everyone (including me) smokes, cigarettes are everywhere. That was my first culture shock, in the US it's so rare. I guess it's a good thing, but also I don't want to shame people that smoke (it would be hypocritical coming from me)

I started smoking during the grunge Tumblr time back in 2014 because I was a teenager and it was aesthetic. I quit around 3 months ago. I tried quitting so many times before and always failed. It's my biggest regret, I damaged my health, spent a ridiculous amount of money on it over the years, and now even though I've quit I still struggle sometimes. Please don't do it, and if you're a teen and you already started, quit

This topic is terrifying to me. I started vaping a few months ago, because my work friends did (I'm not proud of it). As a person who has a history with EDs it triggers me into that unhealthy mindset, because I already lost some weight due to nicotine abuse. Now I'm trapped in a thought, that if I stop smoking I'm going to gain weight, which is a terrible way of thinking. Smoking should never be romanticized, just because you do it "not to destroy my lungs, but for the *aesthetics*" doesn't mean it's not harmful. Growing up, smoking was viewed as something disgusting that only dumb people did, I can't believe that now more and more people are returning to this awful habit.

Omg yellow teeth and skin so pretty

I think more people should watch the movie Trainspotting - really puts these harmful health trends into a new perspective. The movie almost approaches the characters like they are glamorizing drugs, while still showing the viewer what a horrific life falling down that rabbit hole can lead to, ultimately taking the glamorization out of it.

you r my comfort person 🤍

Some meds can cause you to smoke. It happened to me. Stopped them and instantly stopped smoking, went from more than 10x a day to 0 in one day. Didn't smoke for years then I started again here and there when I smoked for a role (as an actress) but mostly I do it when I'm alone and noone can see me and I do enjoy it. But as soon as I notice I get the need to smoke I stop for s few weeks or months.

Zoe please can you make a video about how some countries are seen as aesthetic. Like how french and english people seem to be more ✨aesthetic✨

Also when looking at drug abuse, it’s crazy to see and hear that almost everyone that I know takes drugs. This is also a current trend in my country (the Netherlands). You would almost think it’s legal… (not talking about weed)

I smoked during ages 13-24. Stopping was one of the best things I've ever done.

I’ve been struggling with cig addiction since I was 14. I’ve quite 2xs but whenever something extremely stressful and scary happens in my life I always find myself back smoking. It’s so dumb to get addicted to something so harmful because it’s “aesthetic”.

My friends in highschool all smoked. Always broke (this stuff is expensive!), yellow nails, fingers, endless breath mints that dont really help and we always stank of this stuff even me who was not a smoker. Stinky hair, clothes, so much second hand smoke I probably don't want to know what it did to me.

😤 I think smoking is perceived as something sophisticated because compared to other types of product consumption, it is not associated with most of corporeal processes - digestion, hydration and metabolism as such. Smoking requires just as much gesticulation as eating (never underestimate the beauty of hand movements) but doesn't make you think about bodily functions, so of all intakes it is perceived as the most spiritually pithy and materialism-free.

I’m glad to see so much smoking shaming in the comments. Smoking is awful and stinks

I hate this because 2nd hand smoking is such a real problem. It pisses me off that smoking is being romanticized & kind of downplayed in 2023, like seriously what the hell?

Well done!

You are way more generous about this then I am. They think they are so edgy *eyeroll*

In my opinion it's the same as alcohol, I don't care what people think is cool I just wanna be healthy to save my future self

Lots of love from India zoe❤❤

Might just be where I live but going out to restaurants/clubs/bars etc. I definitely see and most importantly smell an increase. A lot of establishments turned no smoking over the years but I feel like that's definitely not the case anymore. I went out with friends to a new club recently and oh boy it smelled so fucking bad. One week later and I can still smell the smoke on my pillow, clothes and hair. I know that smoking inside was a lot more common years ago but it was never really something I had to pay attention to as an adult but that isn't the case anymore. So for anyone that can't stand the smell: Please look into new establishments now bc even if they are catered to younger generations you really can't assume they are no smoking areas anymore.

Be yourself so that your personality will never go out of fashion

coming from an art school, you nailed it about that matter…

Vaping has been an epidemic over the last decade it was only a matter of time for that trend to come full circle with cigarettes unfortunately 😢

"for the wrong reasons"? There's no good reason for smoking, period.

I mean if celebrities who have mostly young audience like Jungkook, v, jenna etc smoke they teach people its cool.

I did got peer pressured to smoke more than one cigarette. But the chemicals somehow did never activated the feel good hormones in my brain and I just felt nothing. My friend told me to inhale the smoke deeply, which I did but ended up having a cramp in my lung and thought I was going to die. Never touched that thing again.

As a younger millennial who smoked high school through college, don't do it. The urge and desire to smoke never leaves. I have smoked in years, but I can still detect the smell of the brand I used to smoke and it makes me want it. Also it's a huge money pit. And it makes you look old and dry and crusty, and you'll smell terrible. Don't do it.

I am not a smoker, but i find sexy the way some girls smokes. They seems strong, sophisticated and with a good self esteem.

Wow! Never been this early

as someone who did quit smoking like 1 1/2 years ago.. it only works if you really want to. You HAVE to be convinced that u wanna stop. Totally wanna stop. Not uhh I’ll smoke one or two when I go out partying.. that doesnt work. So try to really convince yourself to stop & stop it. Dont reduce it, completely stop.

In the office there are so many people smoking. Especially young people. And I know at least 3 people that would rather quit but can't go through with it (mainly because of peer pressure at the office and obv coz of the addiction)

Great timing as always. It's gonna sound dumb af, but thats exactly why I'm writing it in YT comments. I guess I'm too ashamed to talk to anybody about it irl. Addictions run in my family (especially smoking), so I always avoided that shit, but like a month ago I was at a party and some girl managed to convince my drunk ass to try. I feel like I'm thinking about it for a concerning amount of time. I'm perfectly aware of how unhealthy it is, but seeing it all over media again is not helping

Great video
