From Australia on vacation in Europe right now. It’s shocking how many people smoke and vape etc.
It’s much better now. 20 something years ago, I was a freshman med student. It was disturbingly common for a teacher (a doctor) to start smoking in the middle of a lecture, which were held in auditoriums inside the hospital.
Many years ago, I went to see a doctor. He smelled like he had just smoked a pack of cigarettes during his last break. I found it very difficult to take any of his words seriously since the smell was so disturbing.
