a: homosexuality ~
b: smoking
What:
"Some twenty years ago, in the infancy of the Internet, I signed up for two discussion groups dealing with Hungary. One was in English, the other in Hungarian. By now I don't remember on which one we had a Hungarian psychiatrist who one day came out with the brilliant observation that "homosexuality is like smoking. One can get hooked but one can also quit." It seems that even twenty years later many Hungarians haven't changed their attitudes. "
