It doesn&#x27;t have to linger if it&#x27;s blowing towards me, either by wind or your actions - it&#x27;s still getting in my hair and clothes and food and making them all stink. I totally can&#x27;t understand anyone simultaneously saying that European cafes are better because (a) better tasting coffee and (b) more smoke around. If you&#x27;re smoking while you drink your coffee then you&#x27;re ruining the flavour anyway.
