A Smoke-Free Israel?!

And this from this morning Artuz 7:

Head of PM's Economic Council Calls For Smoke-Free Israel

Professor Manuel Trachtenberg, who heads Israel’s National Economics Council, says Israel can and should eradicate smoking entirely – and that the IDF is the place to start.

“Turning Israel into a country without smoking is an attainable goal,” Trachtenberg told a conference on medical development at Haifa’s Technion last week.

Ok, so, like, what planet is this guy from?! Stop cigarette smoking in Israel? ISRAEL?! I mean, smoking is Israel's national pastime! It's like asking Americans to give up sports and movies!

GIVE UP SMOKING?! IN ISRAEL?!?!
If that happens, Moshiach can't be too far behind...
