I was in Nepal recently, saw lots of young girls smoking and these days nobody cares. I was in the "sleshmantak Ban's bench" and within about half an hour there were more than 10-12 girls smoking, they come there with boys to hang out smoke with them and then go. They used to buy churot from the small nanglo pasal that was sitting under the tree behind the bench.  Most of the girls looked like they were from the middle or lower middle class family. I have seen only high class girls smoking in five star hotel. It was kind of a surprise for me seeing the middle class girls smoking in Nepal.

ke ho ta yo " is it a western influence or is it a  chhadaapan". 

i know "girls smoking is not a big deal" but i do not know why it was kind of a surprise for me to see those girls smoking especially in Nepal. 

 My Grandmom used to smoke when i was kid, and I know many Old Ladies who used to smoke!! I doubt it's a western infuence, smoking (be it hukka, bidi or churot) is in our culture!! (remember Shiva??)

I feel its western who got influenced by us, during 70s lots of Westerners used to come to Nepal for Hasish Cafe (Legal then), even today we are doing good in Trance Parties :P
