Some kids know they want to chain-smoke as young as 2-3 years old. Early signs include pretending to puff on a crayon, holding a pencil between their middle and index fingers, strong cravings for candy "cigarettes," and rapidly making "huffing" sounds or deeply exhaling.
Be an inclusive adult. Tell them about people who smoke.
Educate them on the long and diverse history of tobacco use and smoking, from Native Americans' sacred rituals to European sailors and beyond.
Show them pictures of iconic smokers from diverse backgrounds and the vintage ads that made smoking look cool. Ensure they recognize they're part of a long and chic tradition.
You will see... We aren't joking, some kids just like chain-smoking.

I'll argue that analysts 1) overrate Russian army 2) underrate Ukrainian one 3) misunderstand Russian strategy & political goals🧵
When the wall of communism fell, we (The U.S. and the U.K.) convinced the Ukraine to denuclearize as they had a third of Russia’s nuclear weapons when they became independent. In exchange, Ukraine received a signed security guarantee from us known as the Budapest Memorandum. 1/8

Thread on global oil production: Shale & Sanctions
1. The results are in. Only a few got it right! It is Canada. The US doubled its production by 2019, then production declined in 2020. This explains why the majority went for the US.

Las operaciones de la #Unimet no generan réditos económicos ni dividendos. Con los ingresos por concepto de matrícula esta casa de estudios realiza un ejercicio de equilibrio ingreso-gasto, cualquier excedente se reinvierte en la propia universidad
Me impresiona tanto el impacto como la velocidad del impacto que han tenido las redes sociales con las recientes denuncias de abuso. Me llama la atención, para bien, lo escandalizada que pareciera estar (parte de) la sociedad venezolana.
