My wife is German (from Munich actually) but we live in California (totally smoke free, which we love). I just got back from Germany, and I had the exact same experience. No longer walking into a cafe or restaurant and being blasted a thick cloud of caustic smoke. It TOTALLY changes the experience, in a good way. P.S. When in Munich, be sure to visit the Schneider Braeuhaus - if you haven't already - and have a Weisswurst or two! Absolutely correct.

There's far worse odours than cigarette smoke. Somehow smoke does suppress those :) You haven’t been to a live concert in germany since the non-smoke-law, have you?

That's great news. Life in California improved in 1994, when the state enacted a smoking ban in all public places. This improves the smell of course, but also improves public health. Most restaurants and bars have reported increased business too. Congratulations!! That’s great news.
