It doesn’t mean a thing

19/03/10

This is a ‘no smoking’ country for sure. Probably even worse than the UK.

The upside being that I have smoked far less cigarettes than normal. Even, at one time I found myself not needing one! And that was after several hours of not having one!!

That doesn’t mean I shall be giving up soon though. Just that, for that moment, it did cross my mind.

  1. There is worse! Germany is far worse. Namely because they are more relaxed about smoking in law, but not in attitude. I spent a few days there last year and apart from the times I was at the conference, whenever I smoked people looked at me aghast. I was even tutted by the maid one day whilst she tidied my room, which irritated me to the point of getting the ashtray and saying “this is a smoking room” and she looked daggers at me and gave a “hmph!”

    To quote the Irish comedian Ed Byrne – “I’ve considered stopping smoking, but then I thought ‘no, I’m not a quitter’ “

  2. You’d probably like his comedy, he’s pro smoking but not militant about it. And applies the mindset of the quote to many everyday things.
