Smoking habits (and laws) vary from country to country and city to city within those countries. While it’s fine to feel out social norms on your own, sometimes the best thing you can learn from a guidebook is when and where it’s permissible to smoke.

One thing’s for sure, no one likes being trapped in a car with a smoker. Best to find yourself an alternative.

Note: I don’t smoke. Smoking kills (and worse, makes your teeth yellow). But if you’re going to smoke, be cool about it. And not in the way that 16-year-olds think smoking is cool. I mean be polite.
