A recent study shows that e-cigarettes are becoming increasingly popular among young people in Germany, with even elementary school kids picking up vapes. Health experts are alarmed.
People giving you flack for treating Europe like a country but tbh I’ve been to Germany (multiple cities), Spain (Madrid), France (Paris), Netherlands (multiple cities), and Norway (multiple cities) in the last 2 years at least and the only one without a smoking and littering problem was Norway (if I’m recalling correctly).
That’s from a European perspective. To me, they all smoke a lot. Shockingly so when one is used to the US. There are regional differences, but it’s more like comparing the size of Lake Constance to Lake Superior: both are huge.
Maybe things have changed as it’s been a hot minute, but smoking in France and Portugal was common and casual in public when I was there, the UK was/is draconian about it i will admit
When I went to Europe there were cigarettes butts everywhere, and people smoked like crazy, felt like US in the 70s

Yeah, tbh it shocked me. I live in California smoking is rare here.
Been to many of the same and don’t recall a lot of smoking at all honestly. Nor cigarette butts everywhere.
Depends totally on which country. And what demographic you visit.
South and East Europe smoke a lot more than North and West. People outside bars smoke because if they didn’t smoke they’d be inside.
