Benin: Youth and tobacco smoking

Jackie writes about tobacco smoking among the youth in Benin: “According to a recent global youth tobacco survey report, more than twenty percent of school children (aged 13 to 15 years) in Benin are cigarette smokers. The survey involved about 50 schools selected in four regions of Benin, namely Atlantique and Littoral (located in the South) as well as Bogue and Alibori (located in North).”

    Well, ya know, I’m an American. And I believe it’s my religious right to smoke. I’m an adult and I should be able to determine what I do in my private life, so I figure since they are determined to violate my religious beliefs by over-charging the products I use for my religious rituals, they’ll burn in hades someday. Man, that will be a day of rejoicing! Vengence is mine, saith the Lord!
