I don’t buy the claims about Dublin. Its traffic jams are utterly horrendous.

The average Parisian probably smokes 183 cigarettes a week.

It may be poor air quality....but it’s not a pack-a-day of Chesterfield Kings.

I was going thru the Paris Airport on change of station move and bought a pack of French cig’s. OMG!! Never again! If you smoked 183 of those your lungs should look like they were BBQ’d.

In pulmonology terms, if you smoke a pack a day for a year, that’s a “pack year”. Two packs a day in a year would be two pack-years.

After 30 pack-years of damage there is a measurable difference in pulmonary function (forced expiratory volume or FEV) in old age that is unrecoverable.

183 cigs a year, or just over 9 packs, will not have any measurable impact. It would take 1216 years of living in Paris to get measurable damage.

In typical European irony, this is taking place in the birthplace of the Paris Climate Agreement, signed by then SOS John F-ing Kerry.
