Smokers quit in record numbers amid Covid fears
Perhaps it already happened, but people don't know because they aren't visiting each other's houses.

Are you saying the reason TP is back in stock is because enough people bought bidets to reduce demand for residential TP? That would be interesting.

I'm sure at some point the TP pipeline got reworked to shift away from commercial production and towards consumer sized rolls.

That seems plausible, but do you have any information showing that’s the case? I never thought I’d be so interested in either TP or consumer supply chains until this happened, lol.

I read early in the pandemic that the problem was that a huge amount of TP was cheap and massive rolls for offices, which consumers can’t use.
As far as them reworking the supply chains, that’s me speculating.
