Easy A
I recently traveled to Germany and much to my surprise, found smokers everywhere at all hours of the day. From old people to young, men to women, girls and boys, there was even a baby with a cigarette candy in his mouth for pete's sake- at least I think it's candy- it's more intense than France, the UK and even Ireland.

I think it depends on the city as well. I noticed more smokers in bigger cities like Munich and fewer in the university town of Freiburg.
As for a change, I think it is coming. Italy and Ireland have already banned smoking in public and France put a similar ban in place. The Germans were working on some such ban, but it got squashed in government. I still think it will come back in some form. I certainly hope so.
Once a ban goes into effect it will be interesting to see how the actual culture of smoking develops around it. I would not expect everyone to stop smoking at once; but a few winters of having to stand outside of the warm bar without a beer in the snow to smoke might turn off a bunch of people. I also expect the health system will be happy to help anyone to stop that wants it.

hi all hope you can help,
i bought a travel system in july 10 , my daughter was born in november 10 due to bad weather i didn't get out with the pram til after xmas, i have been using it in travel seat mode but about a month ago due to daughter getting too big for car seat i started to use the pushchair attachment which clicks into the chassis however i noticed a week ago that it is not clicking in properly, if it is forced it will but as it is being pushed around it comes back out. i went back to the store that i bought it in , had no receipt but i did have the credit card statement that showed the transaction, they are able to chase up the receipt for me , in the meantime they have offered me a repair but i have to pay 50 euro for , surely this cant be right i payed 339.00 euro for the buggy and it is certainly not my fault its broken , it is unsafe to use for a 6month old baby, can anyone offer any advice please ?
btw : i did try to register the buggy when i bought it but being in ireland the company did not recognize an Irish address

This item was purchased back in July 2010. It is now the middle of May 2011. That's approximately 10 months later. It is very unlikely that you would find any store which would now do a repair for free. Perhaps there is a manufacturer's warranty on the item for a year or more, but that would more than likely require you to ship it someplace...a cost that would likely equal or exceed the repair cost of 50 euro. My advice would be to simply pay the 50 euro and have it repaired, and next time, don't wait for almost a year after purchasing an item to see if it actually works or not, because like now, you would most likely be out of luck then also.
