Stop press
I think I learn from http://acalzonquitadoepri.blogspot.com/ that smoking has just been banned in public places in Guatemala. The bisease have been busy, although one might have thought there were more pressing problems there for them to be busy about. Perhaps a no-smoking ban has become an icon for the sort of government that such places aspire to. Good luck to them!
I am betting on fatness being the next target for our own bisease. It will be interesting to see how they will go about banning it. Computerised scanning contraptions in all places selling food to ascertain whether according to the manual of fatness you are in a fit condition to eat whatever it is you fancy on the menu? Denial of all kinds of service to people who can't squeeze through the chipboard fatometer? One could have them, for example, on buses and built into the turnstiles at railway and underground stations.
