I know that smoking is bad for you, but for fuck's sake give me a break

Islamic religious police in Somalia arrested 22 people for smoking cigarettes in the Somali port of Kismayo, where they will be flogged if found guilty of violating a new tobacco ban. Local Islamist officials announced a total ban on the use of tobacco in the key southern port, in a new sign that Somalia is going down the drain. The Islamists, who seized Mogadishu in June and now control most of southern and central Somalia, have enacted Sharia in varying degrees but have banned live music and closed down cinemas and photo shops in most areas. Immagine this shit happening in Egypt, no smoking, no shisha, no live music and no cinemas.
