Excerpt:
Canadians between the ages of 18 and 29 drink the least of any generation, with less than one per cent reporting they drank daily, a report by insurance firm PolicyMe shows. This was in contrast to the age group over 60, in which almost five per cent said they drink daily.
The results of the report are based on self-reported lifestyle choices from insurance applications.
However, this age group had the highest reported daily use of nicotine products (7.3 per cent) of any age group, the report said. In all other age groups, only five to six per cent said they use nicotine every day.
This includes all forms of nicotine use: vaping, e-cigarettes, traditional cigarettes and products like chewing tobacco.
I mean I didn鈥檛 read the article and I don鈥檛 doubt the headline is probably actually true as well, but what鈥檚 in the excerpt doesn鈥檛 match the headline at all. Fewer people in Gen-Z are DAILY drinkers. That鈥檚 all the data that鈥檚 given. Which makes sense because even people who drink daily in their 50s and 60s probably didn鈥檛 drink every day in their 20s.
Well, I mean, they ARE less social and more stressed.
Plus they鈥檙e going to die in the water wars anyways
7.3% and 5-6% both seem very low. What kind of nicotine addict (which is most people who take it more often than every couple of days) can actually go a day completely without nicotine? Nicotine is extremely addictive.
There are social smokers, or people who will have a smoke when drinking, or in random times of stress.
Never said they don鈥檛 exist. But most of the people I personally know who smoked, smoked every day.
Going for their three times a day social smoke break, but they only smoke then, and after a beer, and after they win a game, and
In Australia alcohol is heavily taxed whereas illegal disposable vapes are easily available.
Nicotine makes you more stressed. Deleting that from your system let鈥檚 your body deal with actual stress better.
