As I have reported several times, the issue of No Smoking continues to have its impact on every day’s life in Italy. Now in a way that is imaginative but certainly has not been in the minds of those who “invented” the new regulations.
Some specifically cunning (?) people have found a new way to draw their own profit from the new situation: There are more and more complaints from owners of restaurants (who strictly follow the law) about guests that abuse the new circumstances: They enjoy a particularly full and costly meal, after main course order a specifically expensive desert with well selected brandy or any other high quality “digestivo”, excuse themselves for a “quick smoke outside while waiting” (the owner nodding in appreciation of their correctness) – and are gone for ever……..
As one can see, the many times quoted Mediterranean imaginativeness is not an exclusive gift for the decent ones.
