Remember when the Winter Olympics were in Sarajavo in the 1980s ?
I recall someone on TV suggesting the Surgeon General of Yugoslavia had probably died of cancer.
If you really want to see heavy smoking, visit mainland China. The PRC government has a stake in the sale of tobacco.

In France?! It's a nation of chain-smokers.

Even more will start smoking in an effort to collaborate with their new enemy.

Or Japan, except for the part about the govt. stake. IIRC, Japan Airlines is one of the last remaining carriers that allows smoking on many of its flights. Not to the US, of course, but on intra-Asian and domestic routes.

Jacques Chirac declare la guerre au tabac (Chirac declares war on tobacco)

A natural progression for a Vichy France Prime Minister...
to follow in the footsteps of the anti-tobacco vegetarian Adolph Hitler.

COMPIEGNE, March 25 (API) - The French Government today surrendered unconditionally to the CEO of R.J. Reynolds, who named Joe Camel to the post of interim military governor....

Amazingly, the one place that Parisians obey the "defense de fumer" is on the Metro. Otherwise...

The subway in Denmark has smoking cars.
