Yes, health care in (much of) Europe is in a state the I find preferable to that in the US. But it's hardly true that they are "ahead" of us on safety.

hmmmmm.
most places are designated as smoking with a huge sign on the front window (in Germany it's "Raucherlokal")

if you can't understand the sign ... then hmmmmmmmm.
as far as other countries go, the further east you go (depending on what your def of Europe is) then the higher percentage of establishments that allow smoking.
as far as that even being a big deal on a holiday ... all I can say is that you're worrying about the wrong things.
also, i find it hard to believe that as far as cycling goes, this is BF is it not (?), that one can even compare "Europe" and anywhere else on the planet for health/safety while cycling (maybe Japan).
at this turning into a US v. EU thread.
