    When I went to Europe there were cigarettes butts everywhere, and people smoked like crazy, felt like US in the 70s

      Depends totally on which country. And what demographic you visit.

      South and East Europe smoke a lot more than North and West. People outside bars smoke because if they didn’t smoke they’d be inside.

      People giving you flack for treating Europe like a country but tbh I’ve been to Germany (multiple cities), Spain (Madrid), France (Paris), Netherlands (multiple cities), and Norway (multiple cities) in the last 2 years at least and the only one without a smoking and littering problem was Norway (if I’m recalling correctly).
