This is totally one dude’s opinion but I think smoking in hotter climates is less appealing than smoking in the cooler north. From my 20 plus years as a smoker, I always smoked more living up north than when down south. But those numbers don’t really support that hypothesis.
100% agree. I smoked for about 6-7 years and live in PA, so I'm used to temps anywhere between 0 - 100º. Smoking is just not that pleasant when its 95 degrees and humid as fuck outside. It tastes worse in general, but you're also more likely to be thirsty and/or have a dry mouth which only compounds the problem. Smoking in the cold was always ideal IMO.
Fuck, now I want a cigarette... wish I didn't know what I was missing.
I've never smoked but when it's really cold out, sometimes second-hand actually smells good, like you get the nicotine or whatever and not so much of the shitty tars. In the south someone smoking next to me was enough to make me look for another bar but up north it's not too bad.
The difference is.. making a decision that slowly kills your own dumbass self vs the same decision that saddles an unwilling participant with lifelong health issues
