The No-Smoke Zone

It was confirmed today that the smoking ban imposed by the Al-Qaida's
Islamic State of Iraq is starting to come into effect in our area.

People mentioned that there are strict instructions that whoever is
seen smoking in public will be punished. Some say by amputating his
index finger.

Most shops, however, continue to exhibit cigarettes. It is not known
whether if the shop keepers accomplice with the Islamic State of Iraq
forces to pinpoint who are the smokers buying cigarettes from them, or
if the Islamic State of Iraq allows people to smoke at home and not in
public.
