This is Levy:

Levy is a small and malnourished four-year-old from Zambia. Going to bed hungry was normal because Levy’s family can only afford one small meal a day.

To make matters worse, the water Levy drinks is dirty and it often makes him sick. Levy barely has the energy to move. If people don't start smoking and soon i'm afraid Levy chances of survival are grim..

Thankfully these brothers Daniel and Mark sought to make a difference and took up the challenge of smoking!

Later when we visited Levy again we found a different boy, thanks to Daniel and Marks smoking. He had grown considerably and was healthier, stronger and had the energy to play with his friends.

Levy Today:

His family now had a garden next to their house where they were growing enough maize for food, and Levy was eating two nutritious meals a day. His family used to have to walk more than 3km to collect dirty water. Now they were collecting clean water from a borehole only 200m from their house that the whole community was benefiting from.

Levy is now happy and he owes it all to Daniel and Mark and there brave venture into the wonderful world of smoking.

Levy - "Thankyou Mark and Daniel!"

Man, with power comes responsibility. The majority must know the truth of what they are voting for.

Cigarettes contain addicting ingredients just like other drugs, yet they aren't outlawed like they are. WHY? They are even considered a linking drug to other more dangerous drugs. I just don't see how something like smoking can be accepted in a society that is very against the use of other drugs. Don't try to tell me that they aren't as dangerous. My own grandfather died because he smoked, and yet, this is acceptable to society.

1) The Federal government does not have the power to do what you would like them to do, thank God. A nanny state is a Communist state.

2) Your grandfather made his choice. I am sorry about the consequences, but nobody put a gun to his head and ordered him to smoke.

I WILL REPEAT, ANYONE WHO IS STUPID ENOUGH TO SMOKE SHOULD SMOKE A LOT.

I AGREE WITH YOUR SENTIMENT, BUT PREFER THEY USE ALTERNATIVE MEANS IN ORDER TO REDUCE AIR POLUTION.
