Stating the obvious...

Zealous civil servants are not only common in the Netherlands. On one of my trips I came across irrefutable proof that they also prosper in Canada. 

How thick must one be not to guess that lighting  a cigarette (and throwing the butt away) would result in an increase of the possibility of fires bursting out. Having said that, what can be learned from Canada is how to choose the location to enable smokers to stick to their habit. Rather than having to huddle at the entrance of the office building they work in, the Canadian smoker can overlook the Strait of Georgia whilst smoking.

There is a downside to this all however. In order to enjoy this view the Canadian smoker may have to travel a fair bit. Thus burning fuel as well as smoking  cigarettes. Hence the saying 'where there is smoke there is fire'. Ahh, fire danger, now I got it...
