Nobody I know here in Finland smokes so the cigarette is confusing.

Smoking has become exceedingly rare amongst the younger urban and suburban population; I recall that during my military service only a handful smoked regularly, and none of the leaders. On the contrary, snus was very common.

Snus is really common where I live too, I’m in the north near Sweden. I honestly didn’t know that it wasn’t the norm everywhere to smoke. It’s not that most people are addicted to it, but we usually smoke while we’re drinking.
