Castro the great humanitarian


iconThe Cuban government has banned smoking, out of concern for public health.

Smoking will be banned in restaurants, except in designated smoking areas, and cigarette machines also will be removed. The law will also suspend sales of cigarettes to children under age 16 and at stores less than 100 yards from schools.

According to government statistics, four of every 10 Cubans smoke, and 30 percent of the 15,000 deaths from preventable cancers each year can be linked to smoking.

They have not yet said whether smoking will be banned in political prisons where dissidents await their fate.
