Is that a cigarette in his hands? He was 12 years old in 1955.

I was smoking at 12 in France in 1999, I told tobacconists I was buying them for my mom. Pulled the same thing off in the states when I moved there 2 years later. And I was far from alone. These are far more recent (terrible, obviously) habits than you might think.

Started smoking at 12 too, also in the 90s. Quit in high-school.
