Spotlight on Health and Foolish Habits: Episode 2

People here are pretty gung-ho about their health. People are always doing all kinds of crazy things to be healthy... like eating bugs, and drinking collagen drinks.



However, contrary to everything healthy, there are a ridiculous number of smokers. I would wager at least 73% of the men in Daegu smoke. It is outrageous. I probably breathe in the equivalent of a pack a week as I walk around town.

In addition to the many smokers, the air pollution is pretty bad. After a day of leaving windows open, there is black sooty stuff stuck on everything that's hard to get off. So, I can appreciate people that wear masks to "keep the bad air out."
What I can't appreciate is when a guy pulls down his mask for a smoke and then puts it back up when he's finished.
