Fag end not near
Governments all over the world usually mark World Anti-Tobacco day (May 31) by introducing measures to curb smoking. This year in India, the Union ministry of health and family welfare announced a ban on smoking scenes in films and television. However, despite many such measures, the war on tobacco may have only just begun.
Historically, tobacco consumption grew and spread to new countries after wars. In the 17th and 18th centuries, the Egyptians, Turks, Russians, French, Spanish, Mexican, us and British soldiers learnt different forms of tobacco use from one another and carried it home. It's not surprising that the first cigarette factory was opened in 1856 in Walworth, uk by Robert Golag
