Are Cigs the Next Retro Trend?

|

Maybe some people light up at home but I thought smoking had become almost taboo-ish. You know, since it’s totally gross and causes cancer and stuff. A local church youth leader told me that he recently witnessed some HPMS students taking a smoke break behind the 7-11 on Hillcrest.

Lately I’ve noticed more car smokers (icky) and people lingering with a cig before entering a building. Then yesterday afternoon, this lady was reading a book in the Snider Plaza parking lot while she enjoyed her smokes. Very 80s.

I cringe to think about it but, are cigarettes on the comeback?
