My impression in European cities is the frequency of people smoking or vaping is MUCH higher than it is around here.  I rarely see anyone here with a cigarette, the vaping thing is more common, but in Europe, it's pervasive.

My wife says young women smoke for weight control.  She did herself back in the day.

Another thing that surprised me in France was the amount of open racism.  I had several dinners en famille with educated people and hear them say things that would be verbotten here even if one believed such things.

They were pouring some terrific wine, so I just listened.

They also often have some "interesting" views about the US.

I've been told that folks gain weight after quitting smoking because food tastes better

You've clearly never been to Europe.
I have.  They just copy our stuff and are 20 years behind.  Maybe more.

They make fun of this fact in many movies.  My favorite was in EuroTrip, where the eastern European guy is citing Miami Vice...in 2010.

After WW II, the U. S. has trailed Europe circa 75-years.
