This is the No. 1 complaint I have BY FAR about Germany.
WHY, in the face of overwhelming evidence and an infatuation with fitness, diet and appearance, do so many Germans not only have this absolutely FILTHY habit, but also a tolerance for it that borders on stupidity?
WOMEN seem to be the greater culprits for reasons that have never been adequately explained to me in nearly 23 years here. Last week I saw what appeared to be an otherwise caring mother with two small children -- a toddler and one in a baby carriage -- bent down in at the Hauptwache in Heidelberg toking away right in their faces! Seriously, was this woman completely INSANE?
I ask women why they smoke and the answer I is get most is "Stress." Give me a BREAK!!! What in the world would German women have to be stressed about? Perhaps that Lidl ran out of warpaint?
This NASTY habit is dangerous to many and ruins meals too! When is the German government going to do its JOB and at least ban it in public places???
