I was visiting UCB today - happened to come up there for an errand, and decided to take a stroll through the campus.
There were four pimply pale-faced teenagers (all looking thirteen, no older) sitting at the entrance to Campanille tower, puffing away like they were some fvcking Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson. Or maybe they were acting out Frodo and friends. They msut have thought of themselves very highly, 'cause the snobbish look of 'look at my pipe' was all over their faces.

Unless you drive Rolls Royce and wear $5000 dollar suits, puffing a pipe makes you look stupid.

I just needed to rant, while the thread was on the subject of smoking.
Thank you for your attention.

In India, hookahs are what old ladies in small villages use to smoke tobacco.

Here in America, it's the hip thing for urban youngsters. :confused:

The Hookahs were in Westwood long before you were at UCLA, they are nothing new.

And so was smoking. What's your point?

My point was that it's not a new trend.
