    Meh, where I live few people smoke, but I still see people that smoke every other day. There’s still cig butts everywhere. I was hiking in the forest and this dude walking his dog was smoking, I saw him flick his butt right into the nature he was enjoying. And the number of people vaping is huge, even very young folk who walk around with vapes.

    I was in France recently and everyone smoked there, it was like going back in time 20 years. Ashtrays everywhere, everything stank and people were chain smoking non stop.

    Just because something has gotten less popular locally, doesn’t mean an entire generation has given it up. It’s just a fad not to smoke cigarettes right now, a fad that might change in the future, given how addictive it is.

      Same in Germany. People don’t even seem to realise the dangers of it, or how they’re harming others. They just think it’s their “right” and the government agrees.

        Please … we’ve had warnings and graphic images on the boxes for decades now, people do realise. They just accept these dangers or don’t care.
