A couple of hours ago i came back from a drink with a bunch of friends. The place was fantastic, the drinks were amazing and the prices quite normal i can say, but something was wrong. I came in my home and something smelled, like really bad.
I smelled from the bottom to the head like i smoked cheese merged with smoked salmon that had expired a month ago!
Note that i don't smoke
The answer is quite simple. The bar was crowed and 90% were smoking. In this situation there aren't so much to be done but in general every fucking time i am out, either that is called tavern, cafeteria,bar or club it's exactly the same. Before i start mentioning some types of smokers i regularly meet ( maybe in a part two if the post ends up too big) let's talk about what's the situation and how bad it is.
Normally and when i say normally i mean according to the law it's not allowed to smoke in a close space and in general in places were people work, that date back to 1856. Yes Yes it's true, but who gives a shit right? Because we are cooler that the other countries we earned first place in 2009 throughout the entire EU for highest smoking percentages.
Because of that some people became furious and said we gonna make our country great again. They changed a little bit the law and made it harsher with more punishments but still nobody gave a shit or two. We are at 2018 and the law is even stricter with penalties of 500-10.000 euro if they just see someone smoking in a closed space.
The people behind that law were badass enough to say:
Although you may thing that each and everyone pissed himself with that kind of law exactly the opposite happened. Once again nobody gave a shit because yolo and because we like breaking the law to play it cool to others and earning a lot of money. In reality all of this doesn't just happening because we are badass but actually because it's government's fault. (not entirely though but we have to blame them, it's tradition)
The law simply doesn't apply to mostly anyone. They never send people to control the situation and check if the shops actually apply the law and if they do so, they will send 2 people to check 50 shops. Guess what happens next. If the shop-owners don't already know those people and are friends, after the first visit in the first shop, phone calls to all the other will be made and for that short period of time they will apply the law but after a couple of hours let the party begin.
Even if someone follows the law and don't let the smokers who are the majority stay inside and smoke they will gladly go to the next cafeteria which next to his. Because nobody will check them and if so it will be one in 3-4 months they actually don't care to follow the law. Watching that first-seated the owner who follows the law will say ''fuck it'' and will abandon the law too in order to earn back his customers.
If what i am saying is considered sane and logic in your minds!
