[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 648647, member: 1550"] Suzir, thank you. Very interesting that it is just understood that one does not smoke inside in your country. While most people here would ask if it's ok, they do smoke inside. We live in a non-smoking apartment, but some still breach that and we can smell it a little sometimes when we are in the hallway. As for smoking in a car, that's like (to me) REALLY instant cancer, emphysema, etc. Even with the window open, it comes in because I've driven with smokers before smokers became more respectful in the U.S. The smoke just blows right back in at the passenger in the car. I have always said I was born in the wrong country. I am. I am not completely European in my thinking, of course, but I do feel the U.S. is way behind the rest of the developed world in health, healthcare, politics, ideas, almost everything. For living in the U.S., I am a social and fiscal liberal, which any Americans would actually call being a Communist (which is ridiculous.). Heck, many think Medicare is socialistic. And what's so bad about socialism anyway...lol. Anyway, I have always told my hubby if I had known which way our country would have turned, with people who want to make a fetus have the rights of a person and the like, I'd have picked up my young family and moved to Canada. I'm very out of sync with my own country. For one thing, I hate guns and that alone makes me odd. Anyhow, my family is here so we are here for the duration, but I have stopped watching the news as I just can't listen to what is happening here anymore. In no way am I saying MY views are right. There is no right or wrong when it comes to opinion (don't want to offend anyone here). [/QUOTE]
