In Dutch, there has been a saying since the 17th century, “Roken als een Turk” which translates to “Smoking like a Turk”. We use it for someone who smokes a lot.
I recently attended a Turkish wedding, and never before had I been to a wedding where guests were offered cigarettes on a silver platter.
I would be smoking too if I had Erdogan as my president.
I went to Istanbul last year when my daughter was 9 months old. I was in a taxi and the driver just started smoking. I just politely said sorry I have my baby daughter here. He just looked back and smiled, said, what a cute baby and continued smoking lol. He didn’t even realise that I didn’t want him to smoke Infront of my baby. When I clarified this, he stopped smoking.
Smoking Infront of kids and babies is a big no no where I’m from, but it sounds like it’s totally acceptable there.
Its called Turkey in English.
Finally, we are the first at something..
Take that Europeans, 🚬💨.. 😎🥳 🤣
Türkiye número uno 🥹🥹🇹🇷🇹🇷🙏🙏
Expression checks out.
Turkish cuisine is something else
Erdogan can’t possibly dictate the exonym used for its country. You wouldn’t say “Deutschland ranked 12th…” or “España ranked 10th”
Turk here, it’s true. Me and most of my friends started smoking at 11 years old.
Good
Tobacco is such a waste of time, tastes like shit and doesn’t even get you high. Might as well smoke tree bark.
Im a young physician who just graduated and it always surprised me how much the youth and especially future doctors smoke here. Its just ridicilous
