I would call most shopping mall surfaces and train station newstands, street level.

And what do you suppose is the ratio between train stations + shopping malls vs actual street level tobacco and magazine stands/shops is in most European countries? 1 to 700? 1 to 1000?

Any way, the whole argument is redundant. Go head to your nearest newsagent and see if they stock it. If you live on top of a train station or a supermarket then you’re due both congratulations and commiserations.

For everyone else… you can’t buy them at your nearest kiosk.

Plenty of people can buy them, even at my tiny town back home, that is a little more than "everyone else".

That wasn’t my point at all. They are specialist magazines stocked my particular places.

Because it’s not 2007, no matter how hard you wish it to be.
