Welcome Nookie. I don't often welcome people because I'm bust fighting the fight on five forums (maybe more, can't keep up) and tend to head for the EU and government regs fighting threads.
I saw Germany and thought 'that's the home of the fastest growing petition ever seen' so had to say Hi.
POTV is a friendly place and some of us get together on a video and chat thing most nights called VTTV. One of your countrymen is usually found in chat there asking everybody to sign that petition and I'm there at 9 pm UK time tonight.
I am the local accidental bookwriter so I'll shut up and just say
Nookie1 Good evening, Drea, and welcome, I was in Germany once! Many, many years ago, for a few weeks, centered in Mülheim an der Ruhr, really liked the people over there on the whole, anyway, hope you enjoy it here.
fastest growing petition maybe right - they shoot that link every single day at least 100 times on facebook - you can not forget to sign
but if it really helps? tobacco industries are very powerful....
