The other day, during a training, the lesson was about filling out the vitals on a patient. There is a spot to put in the patient's status as a smoker. This comes from questioning the patient, and there is a place in the file where you can enter in if they use smokeless tobacco.
At first, a nurse asked what smokeless tobacco was, and the response was either chewing tobacco or snuff (these were actually the pre-recorded options). Most of the nurses were younger than thirty, I'd say, and many of them had no idea what snuff was.
One of them asked, "Is that a new thing? Like vaping?"
It's so weird to think about younger generations' points of view. I'm actually glad they had never heard of snuff. But then, I wish they hadn't heard of vaping, either.
