Top Five Games That Glamourize Smoking

Many games have smoking scenes. According to research, it has been found that around 44% of adolescents start smoking after they see smoking images in movies and games. 

While there has yet to be a game that features a character vape, you have to wonder if it’ll ever happen. It is considered by some to be safer than smoking as it doesn’t contain nicotine. This also makes it safer for your lungs. You have to wonder if some of the characters listen below would have vaped today instead of smoke.
