For several days in Senegal, it is possible to buy a pack of cigarettes to a U.S. or European bargain prices, that is to say 400 francs CFA. They cost before this blessed day for major brands of cigarettes almost double. In every country in the world, at least on every other continent in the world, outside Africa still cursed, the price of cigarettes increases to discourage tobacco lovers to even poison.

We attack the evil in the wallet, and taxes collected by the IRS, we tended the sick in the lungs of smokers vice turned into serious illness is not borne by the community.

It's a real crime, particularly against the youth of this country, which was perpetrated in complete ignorance or greed by all those who have decided this fall in tobacco prices in Senegal. Europe and the United States, have long made arrangements for that advertising be banned everywhere. The Evin Law in France was even hardened, so that no event is the scene of any promotion of a tobacco brand. The lives of smokers and smoking has been complicated in these countries now becomes a real torture, so much as addicted to nicotine have preferred to surrender and stop the shame of friends, neighbors and coworkers. Because smoking was a real public health problem that was costing the community in these countries. In ours, we welcomed all the communications budget was reserved for the promotion of tobacco. Billions of dollars or euros are dumped in Africa to attract new smokers, especially young children, and the poorest. Here, we give you cigarettes, a nightclub, you encourage young women to accept their offers of gifts and cover you when you have succumbed to their temptations. There were already cigarettes at retail, which was a blatant incitement to consumption for the poorest.

Today it is almost a free package that we put at the disposal of the Senegalese-at prices that low. This is serious, as if our country had no public health policy, because the devastation is coming, and they grow up. The public health policy, it is anticipated that some bad habits have serious effects and it's not good to be different and let them manage other managers who must make do. It is with cigarettes as cooking broths responsible for many new cases of cardiovascular diseases, such as water sold on the street without any hygiene precautions.

As if poverty was in itself an incurable disease, and that everything that was added to the order of fate. No, gentlemen, this decline in cigarette prices is irresponsible, dangerous and murdered for our youth, and you need to make adjustments, because the target is already in a state of disuse, it is the youth of this country. You are liable to answer for this irresponsibility for not helping a person at risk and endanger the lives of others. So remove the decree, it will be to your credit.
