Pope Francis bans the sale of cigarettes inside the Vatican

10/11/2017

  • Pope Francis decided that the Vatican will cease to sell cigarettes to employees as of 2018.

    The reason is very simple: the Holy See cannot contribute to an activity that clearly damages the health of people. According to the World Health Organization, every year smoking is the cause of more than seven million deaths throughout the world.

Imma anke hu kien qed jinnota x’kien qed jiġri u nnota li dawn l-imberkin kapijiet kienu qed jippruvaw jieħdu l-aħjar post (ara v.7) u, bħal missier ta’ mħabba kbira, jagħtihom lezzjoni…
