I
hardly see anyone smoke in Central America. When I first entered Nicaragua, I
saw a young boy who was 17 smoking and I asked him “Why do you smoke?” and
commented on that he looks too young to smoke.
Poor kid was just smoking a cigarette and didn’t need to be bothered by
me.
It’s
not common to see a young child smoking and even see adults smoking. It’s just
not a common behavior. People are more likely to be chomping on fruit or just
sitting on a corner talking or eating candy.
While I may be painting a perfect picture, it’s just what I observe
daily. I would know if I was inhaling smoke off the streets or people in
restuarants.
Maybe
people who smoke only go to bars? It’s unknown the exact reason, but it is very
much appreciated. They also don’t see cigarettes
on the streets, which they do in Morocco.
They sell them inside stores, but not single cigarettes on the
street-this is a wonderful thing.
Apparently,
people are living longer here because there are definitely not as many smokers
as US. It’s a great thing to see people
taking care of their lungs.
