The thing with drinking is that alcohol is both more accessible and less stigmatized. If you want to start a cigarette habit, you need to get the cigarettes from someone, which if you know where to go may not be so difficult, but you can’t walk up and take one yourself the way that any teenage boy can walk over to the drinks table and take a shot. Not only that, but you’ll always have those fathers who think it’s so cute or whatever to give their little kids alcohol (they drive me crazy)- if people think Tatty approves of that amount, well, this is only a bit more… It’s a bit of a gateway.
