Smoking

Compared to the United States, smoking is quite popular in Germany still. It is not nearly as frowned upon in public places as in the United States.

In fact on the streets in many German cities, you will find automatic cigarette machines.It is not necessary for you to go to a store to buy cigarettes.

The strange part is, Germans continue to smoke even though the package of cigarettes says directly on it, Rauchen kann tödlich sein or Smoking can kill you.

I guess if you follow the rule, everyone dies, then I see why they smoke so much. It doesn't make sense though to spend money on such an unhealthy habit.
