In most of Europe, the rates of smoking initiation among older teens have declined since the 1970s, while "new smoker" rates among younger teens have risen in recent years, according to a study published August 22, 2018 in the open-access journal PLOS ONE by an international team of researchers involved in the Ageing Lungs in European Cohorts (ALEC) study, coordinated by Deborah Jarvis, Imperial College of London, UK.

Smoking is the leading cause of avoidable mortality and the strongest modifiable risk factor for a number of diseases. Many smokers initially become addicted to nicotine during adolescence, making it critical to understand smoking trends in this population.

The ALEC study pooled data from six multicenter studies, including 119,104 people from 17 countries. Information on smoking was retrospectively obtained from participants, who answered questions including "Are you a smoker," "Have you ever smoked for as long as a year?" and "How old were you when you started smoking?" Data was grouped by region of Europe and analyzed both as a whole and by region.

    The white people are getting demographically replaced in Europe, genocide by a more pleasant name.

    The percentage of kids under 5 is already majority invader in many areas. Europe will no longer be a white region; something like Brazil or Argentina is the best they can hope for a future; Rhodesia and South Africa is historically much more likely. Obviously if you genocide a race and culture that had a very low incidence of trait "X" and replace it with a culture and race that has a high incidence of trait "X" then the percentage will go up during the "replacement period" aka genocide interval or whatever.

    Given that white civilization with its low smoking rates is being genocided in Europe, lets see what the replacement culture for Europe does WRT smoking. Google found a story that almost sounds ridiculous that 59.6% of Syrian men smoke (WTF?). This does seem to fit the story and theory.

    It seems a reliable model of reality that fits existing data, seems quite plausible, and can make other predictions. As Europe goes thru Islamification I think you can expect to see a lot more "mystified" news coverage like this. Sweden will go in one generation from legalizing gay marriage, back to throwing the gays off high rise buildings like they do in the middle east, for example.

    Mass migration does not solve the underlying problems. It just moves the problem.
    These people claim that they need protection. They fear being shot, raped, murdered. They fear thieves. Yet, when they move to another country this is what they do there.
    Europe is screwed. If they had allowed a small number of people in then perhaps they could have helped. Far better would have been to solve the problems in the originating countries. Too late now.
    Is there is a solution to islam? Islamic people have been taking hostages, raping them, torturing them, then selling them back to their families for centuries. It still happens today [dailymail.co.uk].
