High on the mountains about 35 km from Reckong Peo, headquarters fo the Kinnaur district, a small village beaten by high-velocity winds is a non-smoking area. In an age where people don't smoke for health reasons, the villagers here quote fire as the reason. The threat of fire engulfing the little land holdings on both sides of the mountain below the ridge where they grow their crops is what keeps this village away from tobacco.
