Is Europe butt friendly??

19 years ago 0 +0 / -0 87

Avalleymom! Congratulations and best of luck on your new adventure. I've spend a little over 8 months in Brussels over the past three years and I absolutely loved it! I'm really glad to hear for your sake that the smoking laws have changed. It was REALLY smokey when I was there and it did seem to me that absolutely everyone smoked. I would go to interviews and stink really badly - of course I smoked too so I didnt really notice. Its a lovely city with fantastic shopping and nightlife. I found the people to be really friendly. Enjoy!

Thanks Penitent, I will get to the bottom of this since not smoking is my favorite item to research. Mom, before tomorrow I will find out what the smokingpolicy is in Belgium. Where do you move to and when and how long? Maybe we can meet somehow cause I live close to the Belgiumborder.

Hi Susan, here's some information about Belgium: 28 % of the Belgium citizens older than 18 smokes. 2/3 of those persons tried to quit smoking more than once but didn't succeed. Most public places are smokefree by law but from januari 1 2007 it is no longer aproved to smoke in cafe's and restaurants, although some of these places have rooms where smokers can go to. So in general it can be said that Belgium is mostly smokefree in public places. A couple of years ago it seemed that everyone was smoking but that has changed a lot for The Netherlands and Belgium. I hope you can do something with this information. If you need to know more I will gladly help you. Bye for now xxxx :) [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B] 4/1/2006 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 313 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 9,401 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] �923.35 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 43 [B]Hrs:[/B] 14 [B]Mins:[/B] 25 [B]Seconds:[/B] 11

Thanks so much for the info - it was what I was hoping for cause not smoking is also my pet project!! We will probably be moving around the area of a town called Casteau - I think that is it. I am going to start researching the country. We don't have a lot of information yet but are getting very excited to venture outside Canada for a few years. :) [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B] 10/24/2004 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 837 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 20,934 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $8579.25 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 81 [B]Hrs:[/B] 11 [B]Mins:[/B] 24 [B]Seconds:[/B] 14

Looking for some info - does anyone out there know what the smoking status is in Belgium. We are moving there this summer and I can't seem to find any info/stats on smoking there. Is public smoking banned? What percent of the country is smoke free? Anyone know?? It is very strict here in Nova Scotia and I am hoping it is the same over there. Thanks for any info you can provide. Cheers.

Hey Susan, last time I was in Belgium it looked like smoking was a national sport! That was a long time ago! I'm sure DF will give you some more up to date idea of the situation even if they are foes of old!!! Dutch - over to you!!!
