the humor is, neither Grisha (my brother who smokes here with me) nor I smoke. the photos are a joke and that is why I put them here and why rydeer who shoot them colled the session Oh, so 80s.

in fact, Russia smokes less and less (i.e. only one of my friends and 2 of my extended family smoke). lots of my collegues smoke, true, but that is not ok anymore and everyone of them is constantly "quitting".

the story of your mom is very touching and reminds me of the problems I'm still having with my father. hope they gonna be resolved one day before it's too late
