They had the same thing when it comes to smoking.
I was surprised to find that every teenager in Europe smokes, at least the girls. Finally figured out why, though.
Some obscure arm of the Law patrols the streets checking to make sure all the teens are smoking. When they find a kid who doesn’t smoke, they dragoon her and send her to a re-education camp. After the tender attentions of the professional caregivers, she comes out smoking (for life, of course).
Being Socialist countries with State healthcare, they have to start them young so that they won’t clog up the already-overloaded medical facilities with all the complaints of an extended old age.
