Yes, Peter, it is very, very cool to smoke. And it is especially cool in America because people are so smugly self-righteous about not smoking. I remember visiting my sister in Minneapolis right after I moved back from Barcelona (you can smoke even in department stores there!) and before I moved to Stockholm (you can't smoke in department stores, but at least no one seems to think that smokers make Jesus weep). I was sitting on a 15-foot-long bench in a park and at the other end was a woman who gave me a sour look.
"Can you please move, the smoke is really irritating me," she said.
Uh-huh. The smoke was bothering her outside, 15 feet away.
I repeat, smoking cigarettes is way cool.
The Swedish word for the day is lögnare. It means liar.
