I have met hundreds and only one who didn't smoke! The expression
'smokes like a Turk' didn't come from nowhere. Once upon a time, maybe 50 or 60 years ago, all the best cigarettes came from Turkey, they were considered the absolute finest in the world. Only rich people could afford them. (not that I actually remember any of this you understand......)

it is a problem of underdeveloped countries..the tendency to smoking is too hard in underdeveloped countries..also turkish culture sometimes gets its power from pains..and cigaratte is ur best friend when ur in pain..turks generally have potantial to be the best but with some resons that i still couldnt understand,they generally just stays on their places..so they always dream nice days which they deserve however they couldnt reach..so when dreaming cigaratte is ur friend..and also societies ideas..cigarattes badnesses arent seen as well i think..or it is throwing to the winds..and the last thing is that there arent strict rules to obstecle smoking..but turks are in a better place than yesterday and tomorrow will be better..sth is going well..

It isn't strange why the English Government allows advertising and manufacture of cigarettes - they get a huge amount of revenue from it.
