“what?? oh, yes, I am smoking~~do you want some??”—girl said.
“oh, I have to smoke!! On the Metro, I cant smoke anymore!! ooo….really nice~~”—man said.
(I imitated from Kris, hahaha….)
Do you smoke ?? I don’t smoke, and I dislike people smoking. It is really unhealthy to our body. And the problem I want to say is that in Shanghai there are lots of people smoke in the public places. They don’t care about people around them like or dislike the smell, just like the 2 people in the photo. I caught the shot when I planned to enter the Metro. The girl looks so young and cool and beautiful. But so pity she smokes like a veteran.

haha, I like the dialogue
yes, I don’t like smoking either. I don’t understand why people are still doing it. I know it’s addictive but why would you START smoking nowadays?!?
In my city and a couple others in Canada they passed a law banning smoking indoors. So unless you are in your own home you have to go outside to smoke. It’s funny to see all the people in winter huddled around each other trying to stay warm

Bravo pour cette petite scene.
Bientot, la meme scene en france, en fevrier : interdiction de fumer dans les bureaux et dans les lieux publics.
personnellement, je ne fumes pas.
Cheer for this small scene. Soon, the same scene in France, in February: prohibition to smoke in the offices and the public places. personally, I do not smoke.

hey that’s a great scene as Olivier said. i don’t smoke either and can be very daunting to be amongst smokers, and it’s just about everybody that smokes around me = (

It is good for everyone to live in areas where smoking is only allowed outside. I think the inconvenience discourages a lot of people from building a habit.

We are so used to people not smoking in restaurants these days that it was a bit of shock on holiday in Greece to find people smoking even at the breakfast table. We asked people politely not to do so but the German couple on the next table refused accusing *us* of trying to spoil *their* holiday. Never mind spoiling our holiday — what about our health?
