BBC News - Cuba: The smoker's paradise .
The United States famously takes a very fundamentalist attitude to smoking in public. Want to light up in a restaurant or a bar in Manhattan? Forget it. How about a stealthy cigarette on the pavement outside our office in Washington? No way. They will call the cops. The people who do smoke are forced to huddle in underground garages and behind garbage bins as if they were doing crack cocaine. For a very casual and occasional smoker like me the ostracism has been enough to make me quit for good. Until, that is, I went to Havana.
