I wonder....

I wonder if texting helps lower teenage smoking rates. I drive by a high school every time I pick up Paige from her class. There doesn't appear to be a lot of smoking, but definitely appears to be a lot of large groups socializing whilst texting. You know what they say...."Idle hands are the devil's tools"! (ok, I had to look that one up, but knew there would be some appropriate expression to apply to this particular thought). I think the big congregated groups of the "cool kids" need to be doing something more than just talking, and texting seems to be it. I suppose it must be cool to be getting constant text messages. Just a thought....
