    What exactly does European mindset mean? Jumping out of the train at every stop to seek out a yellow square painted on the platform floor?

      Maybe smoking more? I would say that smoking (tabaco) is more common for my European friends, than my American friends. But most of my European friends are French, and most of my American friends are from the Bay Area, so it is more probable a California vs France than American vs Europe

        German and potentially other train stations have smoking areas indicated by a yellow line on the ground, circling the area.

        They are frequently completely ignored with some people lighting their cigarette while the train they are exiting is still opening its doors.

            Same in Estonia but we just have snus, cigarettes and vapes but usually people respect where they can smoke or can’t

            Snus is still everywhere though

      Reminds of a friend of mine who got out of the ICE for a smoke and it continued without him. Didn‘t have his wallet on him either so I had to drive 200km to pick his dumbass up from Berlin.

      It means you get Eurocancer which is a hell of a lot cooler than Muricancer and diabeetus.
