Smoking will be banned in Budapest’s underpasses from today, punishable by a Ft 30,000 fine, which sounds great until you realize that now you’ll be able to smell all the piss, shit and vomit down there. [nol.hu]
Budapest Underpasses to be Less Smoky, Remain Just as Skanky

Another money making scam for our boys in blue,
wonderful…I wonder if this’ll stop the pimps and
hookers who congregate in Nyugati underpass from
smoking? Probably not, they already pay their
‘fines’.
Great. Finally those anti-smoker dimwits can go to underpasses to get some fresh air. Once they get on the case of smokers, there’s no end to it.
In the “Land of the Free” there are towns where you cannot smoke anywhere, not even in your own house or car. It’s insane. No smoking in cigar bars, smoke shops, no smoking in completely separate smoking sections, no smoking in or around public buildings, not even pubs. Smokers pay ridiculously high taxes on each pack they buy, but soon there will be no place to smoke ‘em when you got ‘em.
I’m going to distribute free packs of cigarettes to homeless beggars if they light up in underpasses. See how they pay the stupid 30 grand fines.
Smoke? You should be after the guys and gals with the rusty knives who want to poke a hole in your kidneys, right? The air in Budapest IS smoke, so why worry. Just carry a gun and stay away from those places and you’ll be safe. Oh, sorry, I forgot. You can’t carry a gun in Hungary to protect yourself. Maybe two well trained, big dogs then. ( or is that not allowed either? )
