At the Griya Balur clinic in Indonesia, family members are encouraged to smoke “divine cigarettes” for health benefits while patients undergo treatment for other illnesses. The treatment includes the blowing of smoke from “divine cigarettes” infused with “nanotechnology” to remove their cancer causing “free radicals”. Along with cancer and autism, it is just one of the ailments the Griya Balur clinic claims it can cure with cigarettes.
“Smoking can eliminate anxiety, sharpen concentration and calm the nerves. It is a good cheap alternative to other expensive drugs, like Valium,” Aris Widodo, a pharmacology professor at Brawijaya University in Indonesia, told an AFP reporter.
Smoking kills at least 400,000 people every year and another 25,000 die from passive smoking. - Photos by AFP
