    I'm currently in Austria. Love it, except for two things: 1)the current heatwave. 2)people smoke almost everywhere, and a lot. They seem to have very lax smoking laws. And it's really spoiling my time.

    That does sound rather unpleasant. They don't have any "Austrian efficiency" regarding smoking then?

    They don't have an Austrian efficiency regarding anything: they don't know how to queue, for one (seriously, I now believe that queuing is the greatest thing the Brits ever gave the world), service is often slow, and frequently rude. Don't get me wrong: I love the country, it has a lot to offer, including a great public transport system and spacious and comfortable trains. But they need better smoking laws. I understand they implemented a smoking ban in public places in 2019, more than a decade after the UK and France. There's a health culture that is clearly lacking.
