I'm actually surprised people bother trying to tell 1 kind of american from another. You shouldn't be able to point out individual states on a map. I probably can't name regions of your country.

They get a surprising number of them, though the Midwest is usually all labeled "I'm sorry" or "dunno lol." And I don't think any of the people in the UK got all of the original 13 colonies. But anyway, between education (the US has done some important stuff) and omnipresent American media people tend to pick up some stuff.

I learnt all the US states by following US presidential elections (though a lot of the NE states like Maryland, Connecticut and Massachusetts just tend to blur into one large blue bloc for me) but I think most Europeans would have no problems identifying at least the major or distinctive states on a map (Texas, Hawaii, California, Florida etc.) and having at least a vague idea about where other states are (e.g. that Kansas is somewhere near the middle, Alabama is in the south, and NY is on the east coast). As another poster said, US media is so universal that it would be basically impossible not to pick up at least a basic geography of the US along the way. In some ways it's probably the same with Americans and their knowledge of European countries. I'm sure most Americans could pick out major and distinctive countries on a map (UK, Italy, France, Greece etc.) and will probably be aware that a country like Slovakia, say, is somewhere in the east of Europe even if they don't know exactly where. Or maybe this is more representative, I dunno: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kRh1zXFKC_o

People (americans) used to ask me every day when I worked in disney world, which state is Norway in? What's Europe? And my all time favorite, are vikings as big a problem in Norway as mexicans are in the US?

I dunno about other cancer but I believe that almost everyone who gets lung cancer before the age of like 55 gets a non-smoking related kind. Smokers get it like crazy when they get older, but I remember reading that more non-smokers than smokers get lung cancer before they get old. So this is God's own punishment.

Smoke particles still get in your lungs with cigars, though! Also this: Mr. Fall Down Terror posted:i have no doubt that a masc poser like andrew tate inhales the gently caress out of cigar smoke
