Then you have clearly done something wrong, just this morning as I stepped out the train at 5 there was a guy with blue collar clothes, cigarette + energy drink. Fast forward one hour and saw a construction worker with a large coffee, cigarette and croissant. This was in rural Switzerland, but I think its even more common in the cities.
In my experience that very much depends on the part of Europe you’re in: the “expresso in the morning” thing is mostly common in Southern Europe and France and back in the day when smoking was much more common and was actually allowed indoors in public venues, people having a ciggy and a morning coffee at a cafe was a pretty common sight.
Places in Europe without the whole tradition of coffee places serving expressos never really had this kind of “breakfast”.
It can be enjoyed anywhere or any time, but it’s best served on a balcony in underwear. Greece happens to be a good place to get it in the morning all year round.
I smoked coffee on a field trip to Quebec in the 8th grade. I somehow was able to buy a bowl, and we had nothing to smoke so put coffee in it and put it up in our hotel room. Set off smoke detector. Broke the coffee pot. It was a real mess.
The eighth grade French classes no longer take field trips to Quebec. This was only a small reason why. Co-ed 13 and 14-year-olds on six hour bus rides, two nights in hotels essentially unsupervised. This was the 2000-2001 school year. What a time to be alive.
Lived in Europe my whole life and never seen anyone pair coffee and cigarettes as part of their breakfast

Coffee and sweet pastry, or just coffee is something I commonly saw in Italy (and only Italy)

I know it as Greek Breakfast.

we call it the Parisian if it includes healthy amounts of hatred (Parisian Lite without the hatred)
What part of europe are you from my friend?!?
Vatican City
When I smoked coffee and cigarettes were one of the best combos.
How in the hell do you smoke coffee? Please, tell us your secrets!
you can smoke liquids in a cold smoker
Unfortunate missing comma…

That’s because you didn’t go to a european high school
