Malka, I haven't noticed it the way you have. That may be because I'm not near a college. Or that here in the other LA young people are often very health-conscious (at least I hope they are). Nonetheless it's a disturbing observation and I well understand your reluctance to confront them. I have the same reticence on the occasions when I do see kids lighting up. I think we all need to get over our shyness!
