Just stare into your phone like everyone else?

I get to school early so that I can get a parking spot. In my down time, I chill in the library. I bring my laptop, and either keep myself entertained or do homework. But I forgot my headphones.

This is why I always pack a set of over ear headphones and a set of IEMs. I’ll always have at least one on-hand even if I forget the other.

I used to do that. I always kept a pair of in-ear headphones in my backpack and one at home. But now I only have one pair of in-ear headphones.

I really think that if we had smartphones when I was in school, we all would have smoked less cigarettes. It was something to pass the time. Occasionally you'd see someone with headphones on (you know, for their Discman), but that was considered a pretty douche thing to do. Now it's everywhere, even at the grocery store where you're like "Excuse me" and you think they're ignoring you but it's just because they can't hear you because who the hell can be expected to buy bananas without Taylor Swift?

Smoking is an addiction like many things, including smartphones, you’re right. And like all addictions, it can be boiled down to the same chemical reactions in the brain. It could be that smartphones and the ease of listening to music wherever you are could replace smoking.
I really hope my generation is the generation that ends smoking. I’m one of those people who is genetically incapable of smoking, even though both my parents were smokers when I was growing up. Them smell of second-hand smoke literally makes me nauseated.

It helped that cigs were $2 a pack back in the late 90s. As soon as the big tax hikes happened (to $3 then to $4) a lot of people I know quit pretty fast. Smoking is nowhere near as "cool" as it was when I was in school, and even then it was only fraction as common as it was for my parents' generation. But the taxes really, really made a difference. When I was in high school, we could WALK AROUND the inside of a shopping mall while smoking. All the little benches had ashtrays. I can't even imagine that today.

You should see the cigarettes in Iran. They’re required by law to put pictures of diseased lungs next to healthy lungs on the boxes.
And it’s not just Iran. Several countries around the world are requiring the tobacco industry put up pictures like that on cigarette boxes. I’d put up a picture of an Australian cigarette box, but it’s gross.
