To Smoke Or Not To Smoke

An interesting subject here on the island of Java is the local mindset in regards to smoking.  Women DO NOT smoke, unless they are willing to endure enormous social ridicule.  I have seen ZERO women smoking here. Men on the other hand is a totally different story.  Most high school boys I see are already addicted to the tobacco/clove cigarettes.  The one benefit to having cloves mixed with the tobacco is it releases a slightly more pleasant smell than just tobacco alone.  I know very few men who are non-smokers.  The rest are hopelessly addicted to the stuff.
