Turkey and tobacco seem made for each other.  The drink of choice is tea, drinking tea is always accompanied by smoking. Talking and smoking go well together, standing outside your shop and smoking are made for each other. It’s OK to smoke whilst sitting or standing, particularly  whilst preparing the take-away food in your stall. Of course nothing fills the spaces of your quiet contemplative moments like good, strong Turkish tobacco.

There are health warnings on the packets, however even for someone trained in the languages by Rosewood’s teachers they are hard to translate:

‘Don’t criticise Erdogen whilst smoking, 

Don’t eat pork and smoke, 

Don’t drink alcohol and smoke, 

Don’t drive around Syria whilst smoking, 

It’s OK to smoke sitting or standing’ 

(This of course is a rough translation only)
