SPECIAL REPORTS
HEALTH-CUBA:
Tobacco a Harmful Addiction with a Long
Tradition
In Cuba, where the
Taino Indians had tobacco in hand as they received Christopher
Columbus, thousands of people die of lung cancer every year, and

large part of the problem is that ecotourism means different things to different

adventure. To others, eating tree bark while photographing squirrels is a much
better alternative.
“People, the fickle creatures that we are, went to all the trouble to
build cities only later to find ourselves wanting to leave them.”
