Also smoking bans are so usa centric. Going to Europe is insane because they are so insanely rude with how they smoke compared to the usa

Wiiiide variety over Europe. You gotta specify

I've been in a good few European countries and it hadn't differed in any.

[-] FishFace@piefed.social 3 points 19 hours ago

Oh I guess that covers all of 'em then.

The UK has very little smoking in public.

Germany had a shit-ton, though it has decreased quite a bit.

It was enough of them that I felt comfortable making a generalization

Continental Europe maybe but as a Briton it's pretty shit to be a smoker here. Extremely expensive unless you go black market, you have to stand outside in the pissing rain in virtually all cases, and people can be very judging about it.

Not just US. A few years back japan banned it in restaurants (but not bars) and public buildings unless there's an actual smoking room in them.

Japan's smoking situation has gotten so much better over the last few decades. Which is good, because it used to be everywhere.

I remember flying into Germany in '06 and being able to light up anywhere in the airport, went back in '13 or '14 and they had little booths.

I was in Germany in the early 00s and I hard associated the Frankfurt airport with the smell of smoke. Went back a few years ago and I almost didn’t recall things because that olfactory link wasn’t there anymore.

Depends where, and sometimes it varies wildly in the same country.

Hamburg, I didn't see a single smoker. Berlin, fucking rife with them
