Wary of Protests, Russia Puts Few Limits on Smoking

This article states that in Russia the average lifespane of a male is sixty years old because of the lack of restrictions on smokin. The population is droping and the government seem to ignore the high smoking rate. Even though they heavily promote family life and higher birth rate they have lacked in anti tobaco ads and education. In Russia a pack of cigarettes cost only 25 cents because they are hardly taxed.

I think this wronge beacuse if so many people smoke then it effects the people around them who don't smoke aswell as the enviloment. The amount of people smoking must creat a lot of polution and seconde hand smoke. Over all this is bad for the country and the earth.
