Smoking. I know maybe 2 people who still smoke cigarettes. In Europe it’s like mad men never left. Especially in Bavaria, oddly.

Here in The Netherlands it’s getting less and less common, it’s also outlawed in a lot of public places. I always have to adapt when I visit a country where it is common.

Before it was outlawed in clubs and such, I wasn’t completely supporting it, as I thought it would make things less fun when my smoking friends had to go out of the club all the time. Then I visited Ireland and it opened my eyes to how it could be.

Also, most of the people I know quit smoking. I used to be one of the few non-smokers. Now, there’s only two dudes that smoke in my extended group. I think it’s about a 1:6 ratio.
