In 1950s America, smoking was cool, with movie stars like James Dean and Marlene Dietrich making it look stylish. Cigarette companies even claimed smoking was good for you, with one famous advertisement claiming, "More doctors smoke Camels than any other cigarette."

But things started to change in 1951, when a British scientist found a link between smoking and lung cancer.

Today, things look very different, and smoking in the US is at its lowest level in 80 years.

In the 1950s, nearly half of US adults smoked. Now, according to a poll from Gallup, only 11% of American adults say they've smoked in the past week — half the number from 10 years ago.

One reason is that more people now see smoking as bad for you, with 79% of Americans agreeing that cigarettes are very harmful.

Another major reason is that fewer young adults are smoking.

Young adults used to smoke the most out of any age group, but now they're the least likely to smoke. In the early 2000s, 35% of US adults under 30 smoked, but today, it's just 6%. Instead, it's the older generation that are the biggest smokers these days, with 18% of adults aged 50 to 64 saying they smoke.

Although smoking may be declining, vaping is becoming more popular.

Vaping, or using e-cigarettes, is less common than smoking, with just 7% of adults saying they vape. But vaping is more popular with young adults, and nearly 1 in 5 of American adults under 30 vape.

And if they keep vaping into middle age — and if young people today start vaping as they grow up — vaping might soon become more common than smoking.

Health experts say even though vaping is less harmful than smoking, it's best to avoid both.

US Smoking Hits 80-Year Low

For the next 6+ episodes we're going to be going into details about Hofstede's Cultural Dimensions. This research changed my life when I first learned about it over 10 years ago, giving me a true sense of what culture is, and what the subtle differences in culture are between countries at the fundamental level. More than just knowing that one country or culture does something 'this' way and another does it 'that' way, learning about Hofstede's dimensions can help you to truly understand the WHY.

Introduction to HOFSTEDE'S CULTURAL DIMENSIONS | More than English Podcast #009

Un tour privado de 9 días, 5 provincias, 1882 Km, 24 lugares, pueblos y ciudades pero sobre todo, un viaje que deja la sensación de realmente visitar España y no “Spain”.
David y Marcia, dos personas de los EE.UU. muy curiosas por naturaleza y a lo que se añadía que era su primera visita a mi país, han sido dos compañeros de aventuras excelentes. Sí, me encanta resaltar lo de compañeros porque así ha sido, los tres diseñábamos los itinerarios (en base a mis sugerencias previas) y el “quorum” era siempre total. Durante las semanas previas a nuestro viaje estuvimos haciendo video-llamadas y tuvimos muchos correos comunicándonos para conocernos mejor y sobre todo, conocer sus curiosidades e intereses principales. Es decir, saber lo que sí y lo que no les gustaba.

Vol.31 Featuring Tony, British and Japanese Sweets. トニーさんと、イギリスと日本(にほん)のお菓子(かし)

A new survey in Japan has shown that many people may be giving up on "happily ever after" when they get older than 35.

A survey by the Nippon Foundation asked 6,000 people, aged 15 to 45, about the country's falling birth rate. Among the 3,935 single participants, 46% said they want to get married, while 33% said they don't.

However, when asked if they really think they will get married, only 27% said yes, while 39% said no.

Younger people were more hopeful about marriage, with about 40% of those aged 15 to 25 thinking they will marry. But over 50% of single people aged 36 to 45 believe they won't get married, suggesting people may give up on marriage as they age.

Of the 1,313 people who said they don't want to get married, 40% said they prefer being single. Other reasons for staying single included not being able to see any benefit to marrying, and wanting to put their own life first. More than 20% didn't have a clear reason or just didn't know why.

For the 267 people who want to marry but think they won't, the top reason for thinking it won't happen is not having chances to meet potential partners, which was mentioned by 49% of these people. Others said they weren't good at getting along with people of the opposite sex, or felt financially insecure.

Where people lived also affected views on marriage. About 30% of people in central Tokyo and big cities thought they would marry, but only just over 20% of those in smaller towns and villages felt the same.

Marriages in Japan have been decreasing for years. In 2023, there were 3.9 marriages per 1,000 people in Japan — down from a high of 12 marriages per 1,000 people in 1947.
