Hi. Could anyone tell me where to buy cigarettes close to the Eurostar Station in Brussels please? Many thanks.

I've never been to that particular station, but it would be a very unusual European train station which did not have a newpapapaper/magazine/sweets/cigarette type shop somewhere on the station concourse or outside the entrance (or both).

What an odd question. Must surely win first prize for the week's most bizarre question. Or could it possibly be a very unfunny wind-up? Either way, well done to Leics for attempting to answer it!

I prefer to think it is pure naivity. Being a pariah smoker myself, I thought I'd do my best to reassure!

Phew! I have checked as I was getting concerned that smokers were denied the right to have a quickie between 2 trains, and Dieu merci, unusually enough there appears to be a newsagents/tobacconist inside the station. Let's hope he will still have some fags left when our asker turns up.

O that is good news!

I always feel the need for a quickie between trains.

Yes, I understand, it is reasonably sheltered after all.

Well, you can most likely get your cigarettes in the trainstation, but don't forget you're not allowed to smoke them in the station :-) Also not on the perrons or so, you really have to completely leave the railwaystation for your fag :-)
