Aizawl, May 31 (PTI): Mizoram is the highest tobacco user in the country and has the highest incidence of cancer, Jane R. Ralte of the Tobacco Cessation Clinic said on the occasion of “World No Tobacco Day”.
She said that 60 per cent of Mizo men and 60.7 per cent of Mizo women chew tobacco.
Mizopa Says:
I find it strange that in our society, young kids openly smoke in front of their parents/ elders, whereas having a beer or a drink in front of elders is unthinkable. It is the opposite in western countries.
Also, there is a strong campaign against drugs and alcohol only – tobacco should be included in this since such a large no. of people are dying/ suffering from tobacco related diseases.

I know the solution:
Let SRS jump on the tobacco suppliers!!! LOL
Assuming ( think im correct to 80% too) that most of the SRS who beat up the guys rcently are smokers, lets see who can stop/ control their own indulgence hih
