In Ukraine people smoke a lot. When you find yourself in a bar it will be rather hard for you to find a place where you could sit without being a passive smoker. The quality of tobacco is often very low and you should avoid buying cigarettes in little kiosks and get them only in supermarkets or internationally known stores. If you smoke, it goes without saying that bad tobacco will not kill you, but you will be at least disappointed with its taste. Contemporary Ukraine has a law that prohibits smoking at public places and at work and allows doing it only in special areas. Nevertheless, this law has not been really applied yet and most of the businesses and public places still do not have such places for smokers. You will see a lot of people walking down the street and smoking!
