    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I do not need information. I have done enough research, just as Dr. Kibuguchy has. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is known that 87 per cent of current smokers in Kenya began smoking when they were still young. This is a fact. However, we are in two lanes. Muslims do not smoke as much as the heathens do. When it comes to religious beliefs, I think there are more strict rules of behaviour and social norms in Islam than there are in Christianity and the world of heathens, who do not care about how their children are raised. This is true. I am not praising Muslims, but I admire the way they live. We have deficiency in Government laws that has resulted in the promotion of some of these dangerous crops because of desire for money. We cannot love money more than life. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, in the year 2002, we have been told that 4.9 million people died of tobacco related diseases. But it is also estimated that in the year 2020, we will have lost 10 million, people who will have died as a result of smoking, which causes cancer and other diseases. It is a big concern! The Government has to come up with stringent rules. As an international traveller, let me tell you that in the developed countries, now there are areas where smoking is not allowed."
