    On the “Europeans” side that’s at least 2 decades out of date.

    The expresso coffee part is still true in a good part of Europe, but pretty much everywhere in it nowadays only a small fraction of people smoke and even those who do can’t actually do it inside a coffee shop because they’re not allowed to smoke there anymore, which spoils a great deal of the enjoyment of having a morning coffee.

      Is it? I was just in London a couple months ago, the amount of people smoking and vaping there was honestly shocking.

      While we’re shitting on breakfast culture in Europe I think that Italians have the worst. They have messed up daily rhythm (siesta and then dinner late in the evening)… Actually no, that’s not an excuse. They have garbage breakfast culture, period.

      Literally everyone else’s breakfasts are awesome.

      Yes, but not in the balkans. Went to Bosnia and was served an espresso and a cigarette as an addition to breakfast. It was even on the menu.

        It was a culture shock that you can smoke indoors there, especially since I hate smoking.

        Former smoker here. The flavor combo is amazing, and both act as stimulants, and I could get my fix for both addictions in one go.

        Probably the same as sex and cigarettes.

        Or alcohol and cigarettes.

      Smoking cigarettes is the number one cause of heart disease and cancer globally. If you smoke, quitting is the biggest thing you can do to improve your health

        Nah, obesity and high cholesterol is the top cause of heart disease, but smoking is also a major risk factor. Both are awful for you. Just drink the coffee and pursue an affair like a good Frenchman.

        Cafestol is the main contributor of cardiovascular disease due to coffee (increases cholesterol). Get filtered coffee, or even better, black/mate tea, Matcha/green tea, Guarana or Guyausa (most of which have the reverse effect on cholesterol btw).

    It’s actually a really healthy breakfast because coffee has a lot of physical health benefits and both coffee and a cigarette help against a mental breakdown when you wake up and realize how fucked the world is.

    source
    • Aceticon@lemmy.dbzer0.com ⁨1⁩ ⁨hour⁩ ago

      Whilst you’re kind of joking (I hope!) on the health benifits, I would say that deriving some enjoyment from all manner of small pleasures is a pretty good way to keep one’s mental sanity.

      The world is so fucked no amount of coffee and cigarettes help anymore. Ketamine on the other hand…

      Nicotine might help with short term anxiety symptoms, but addictions of all kinds tend to make anxiety worse overall and dependent on the addictive substance to not be anxious

        Yes, that’s why you should never skip your cigarette with breakfast :)

    • Aceticon@lemmy.dbzer0.com ⁨1⁩ ⁨hour⁩ ago

      In my experience that very much depends on the part of Europe you’re in: the “expresso in the morning” thing is mostly common in Southern Europe and France and back in the day when smoking was much more common and was actually allowed indoors in public venues, people having a ciggy and a morning coffee at a cafe was a pretty common sight.

      Places in Europe without the whole tradition of coffee places serving expressos never really had this kind of “breakfast”.

      I know it as Greek Breakfast.

      It can be enjoyed anywhere or any time, but it’s best served on a balcony in underwear. Greece happens to be a good place to get it in the morning all year round.

        I found that to be the weirdest incorrect assumption. I bought a zippo during my time in the navy, they don’t work well in windy conditions certainly not much better than regular gas lighters. What does work better are storm lighters, those with high pressure flame

        Agree. I bought one to go on treck, but you need to refuel it every week. Maybe 2 weeks if you tight it in inner tube. I ended up buying a storm lighter instead.

      Zippo sucks. If you don’t wear it on your body, it will be too cold and won’t work. And if you leave it lying around for some time, the gas will evaporate and it’ll be empty when you want to use it

        They also slowly evaporate while in your pocket, irritating the thigh.
