It has always been a puzzle to me that people in the areas of the world dominated by the Muslim faith, which strictly forbids smoking...are among the most prolific smokers in the world.
Go to Iran if you want to see people who truly cherish their cigs!.
Some years ago I was walking down the street in Manila smoking a cigarette when a cop nabbed me and gave me a 30 minute "time out" for public smoking. A new law. They actually have benches for this purpose. You get caught smoking its a time out.
Of course being familar with the customs of the country (wife is Philippina) I slipped the cop a 100 peso note, about 8-9, and went on my way.
Haven't been back there for some years now but I hear the anti-smoking campaign is in full swing there as it is here. |
