Above is a photo from an email I received titled "Painted ceiling at smokers' lounge."Yesterday I was walking behind a group of students that had just finished school for the day. I was shocked to see a young boy smoking a cigarette. "They are really starting early these days," I thought to myself.
Today an Israeli newspaper is reporting that MK Gideon Ezra of Kadima,with extensive support of parliamentarians, has filed a law requiring all high school age students to attend special classes and presentations explaining the dangers of smoking and the damage caused by cigarettes.
MK Gideon Ezra is a heavy smoker who was diagnosed with lung cancer recently. Because of his own experience he is convinced that it is important to avoid the first cigarette, which - generally is taken at a young age.
MK Ezra initiated the bill against the background of data indicating a growing percentage of boys starting to smoke at an early age.
