    In America the overriding view is "Cigarette smoke bothers me so therefore no one should be allowed to smoke in anyplace where I am at, have ever been at or will ever be at"

    In Europe the overriding view is "If my smoking bothers you then leave"

    Europe is cold, so they smoke to heat themselves.

    I honestly don't know, but didn't seem that bad last time I was there.

    But just wait until you go to China and/or are in the company of Chinese people, it's much worse.

    I remember even during a basketball game I played in last year against some Chinese neighbors,

    when we finally took a break I went to get some water. One of them ran to catch up to me and say

    " Don't you smoke ? "

    I know this may come as a shock to you but people usually do with their lives what they want to do with it.
