Susan Morris’ European Vacation
Dear Faithful Readers:
Susan is currently traveling in Europe with family and friends. Assuming airport security let her take her nicotine gum with her, she is probably chewing furiously, fighting the urge to smoke as she winds her way among ancient castles and hip cafés.
Smoking rates are significantly higher in Europe than the United States. Additionally, there are fewer restrictions on smoking in restaurants, bars, and public accomodations. In some parts of Europe, asking someone to put out their cigarette will be met with indifference or potentially a hostile stare.
Wish Susan luck as she avoids the daily temptation to smoke.
-Ben, Susan’s colleague and guest blogger
