As a non smoker, I find it interesting to observe smoking habits in Norway.
It is prohibited to smoke in public places, by law.
But what happens inside Norwegian homes?
70 % of Norwegian homes do not allow smoking inside the home. Often the smokers use the balcony as a smoking area.
In 1993 only 17 % had smokefree homes.
90 % of Norwegian smokers say they do not smoke in a room where there are children.

Next to where my mother lives, a big block with balconies, gives the opportunity to observe "smoking on the balcony".
Many have installed heating lamps on their balconies as the climate here can be fairly cold.
Imagine, sometimes I feel a little sorry for the smokers standing outside, shivering, with their cigarettes.
