For our generation, that sound is great.

I remember growing up and seeing movies of smart kids in college having wonderful debates in classrooms while smoking cigarettes. Smoking was a symbol of being a cool, sophisticated adult. My freshman year at UC was when they started to limit smoking a bit in the dorms and classrooms and I believe smoking in class was not allowed well before I graduated. Today most look at smoking as a weakness for the poor and troublemakers, not something the healthy, sophisticated person does.

Someday, which could come very soon the way the young here are avoiding energy stocks and walking out of classrooms here to support climate change, owning a loud, carbon belching, ICE vehicle may hold the same status as smoking in classrooms.

BTW or OT: Have you noticed that nicotine addicted actors and producers now make a lot of "period piece" shows and movies that allow almost constant smoking on the set by the main actors?
