Ne pas pouvoir se passe de tabac

"Since everyone gave up cigarettes, France is about as exciting as Switzerland."


That is the exact caption for this French cartoon. "Since everyone gave up cigarettes....?" Since when? Since April?

Now I gave up cigarettes. I didn't smoke in Paris. I wanted to but I didn't. I can't say the same for most of the French. They were puffing away as if there were no tomorrow. Even at Le Grand Colbert, the young girls next to our table were hazily seen in a cloud of smoke. I wanted to reach over and grab their cigarettes and smoke every one of them. I did not.

When EVERYONE in France gives up smoking, I will give up this blog. Addictions are nightmares.
