Brazil’s President quits smoking after 50 years
After 50 years of smoking, Brazil’s President Inácio Lula da Silva has finally given it up. He made this decision after a sudden hypertensic crisis that prevented him from going to the Davos world economic forum this January. “The average life in Brazil is 75 years,” says Mr. da Silva. “I am 64, thus I have only 10 or 15 years left, and I don’t want experimenting with my health anymore. I haven’t smoked for 40 days already and I’m feeling perfectly well.” The President’s doctors say that he has never complained of his health earlier and never had problems with blood pressure.
