Every time I hear the airplane captain says “Please be aware that Kuwait International Airport is a non-smoking airport” right before landing I say to myself “Is it?”. I read this on Arab Times:
A US citizen resident in Kuwait has refused to sign a contract because one of the articles of the contract reads, ‘following a dispute between the contracting parties, the issue will be referred to competent courts in Kuwait’.
When asked why he refused to sign the contract, he quipped, “Honestly speaking I cannot imagine that the law is applied strictly in the country of officials who smoke cigarettes inside the Kuwait International Airport in violation of the law.”
This has triggered a group of Kuwaiti lawyers to stern warning against Kuwait airport for violating non-smoking law, and in case smoking is not totally banned in 5 days they will file a lawsuit. Though what bothers me most is that among violators are airport employees and security (see above).

Hi,
I totally agree that every new habit begins with mental shifts
smoking as the “the chief preventable cause of death in our society.” Smoking nicotine is an extremely addictive habit and nicotine increases the possibility of endless diseases arising due to smoking. It not only affects the overall health of people but also adversely affects others who are exposed.
