Less people are smoking, but still too many take up the habit and not enough give it up. The anti smoking campaign has been going on a number of years now, ads are banned on TV, Radio & movies. Success rate thus too low after all these years.

Education is badly needed by the vast majority, migrant or not. Education is not a quick fix, but a long term permanent fix. Sad that politicans are unable to think and plan in generations.
