> I took the family to Europe in 2019, in terms of smokers and smoking it was like going back in time compared to the US. Last time we went back to France, we took the kid to the playground and adults were smoking a few meters away from the slides. After double-checking that there was indeed a sign indicating that smoking was forbidden, I told them to step and they did, but apparently nobody else cared. I haven't see that happen yet in the SF Bay. Obviously though, we get wildfire smoke for several months, and right after that people start burning wood in their open fireplaces for winter, so it's not all rosy either.
