오는 31일은 WHO(세계보건기구)가 정한 세계 금연의 날이다. 올해 주제는 '매력의 가면을 벗기고 니코틴·담배 중독에 맞서자(Unmasking the appeal - countering nicotine and tobacco addiction)이다. 담배와 니코틴 산업이 청소년들을 중독의 악순환에 빠지게 하기 위해 제품을 설계하고 있다는 사실을 알리고, 청소년들이 중독의 굴레에서 벗어나게 하자는 취지다. 담배·니코틴 산업은 맛과 향, 형태, 디자인을 바꾸고 온라인 노출을 늘려 젊은층에게 접근하는 방식을 택하고 있다. 과일향 등을 첨가한 가향담배는 국내 전체 담배 시장의 절반을 차지한다. 또 궐련 판매량이 감소하는 것과 반대로 전자담배 판매량은 급증하고 있다. 실제로 이는 청소년이 쉽게 흡연에 빠져들게 하는 요인이 된다. 2024년 청소년 건강패널조사 결과에 따르면 청소년 흡연자 77.3%가 처음 담배제품을 사용할 때 가향담배를 사용했다. 전반적인 청소년 흡연율이 최근 수년간 하락했지만 전자담배(액상형·궐련형) 사용률은 상승하는 추세다. 청소년 니코틴 중독이 과거와 다른 양상을 띠고 있음을 의미한다....
PARIS: Iranian authorities partially restored internet connectivity on Tuesday after an almost three-month shutdown imposed after the US-Israel invasion on Feb 28. The shutdown left Iranians largely cut off from international networks, with only a domestic intranet working for daily tasks like shopping, ride-hailing and education. “Live metrics show a partial restoration to internet connectivity in Iran on day 88,” of the shutdown, monitor NetBlocks said on X, saying it was “unclear” if this meant a permanent end to the “longest nationwide internet shutdown in modern history”. Earlier during the day, Iran’s judiciary suspended a fledging presidential body that had ordered restoration of the internet. Judiciary suspends a presidential body that took the decision The Special Headquarters for Organising and Governing the Country’s Cyberspace was formed on May 12 by Pezeshkian. The body had on Monday reached a decision to “restore the internet”, according to government spokeswoman Fatemeh Mohajerani, after local media reported that Pezeshkian had decreed the measure. Vice President Mohammad Reza Aref said in a post on X that the “first step toward free and regulated access to cyberspace has been taken”, adding that the demands of Iranians “will be fulfilled”. State news agency IRNA and Fars news agency said “full international internet connectivity has been restored” for users of fixed broadband services, but this had not been confirmed by internet monitor NetBlocks. Witnesses inside Iran said mobile internet remains cut, but home internet with Wi-Fi had been restored, even though VPNs were still needed to access some social media. “A few minutes ago I could open international websites using my home internet provider,” said a 22-year-old woman from the western city of Kermanshah. A user in Tehran said the internet service for his company has been restored, but “mobile connection remained the same” without any access. Others reported that general access remained extremely patchy. Closure in January The shutdown imposed three months ago followed a similar blackout imposed on Jan 8 after the country was rocked by mass anti-government protests. Activists said that the January closure was aimed at masking the scale of a crackdown on the protests, as well as preventing more demonstrations. Published in Dawn, May 27th, 2026
AN entire genre of absurdist literature exists, wrapped in poetry and nursery rhymes, which has regaled the world for centuries. Occasionally, the humour and satire they spawn assume the form of an inscrutable poker-faced dilettante relishing a faux involvement in the morose world of politics. Take the Quad foreign ministers under the dilettante’s watch. They plan to meet in Delhi on Tuesday (today) as part of America’s long-expired Obama-era ‘pivot to the east’ policy. The idea was to somehow trap China, preferably in the Strait of Malacca, to impair its stride as an economic power and as an equal challenger to the US. Penny Wong, Toshimitsu Motegi and Marco Rubio are to confabulate in Delhi as guests of Subrahmanyam Jaishankar, ostensibly to keep the Indo-Pacific sea-lanes free. Free from whom? Free from themselves, it turns out. The inscrutable dilettante would studiously refuse to call out the flawed meet. He might prefer instead to layer the humour with irony. The silent observer is only too aware that Quad discussants have displayed a marked failure individually and collectively to prise open the Strait of Hormuz in all of 86 days so far. Ergo: they have struggled against an unseeded Iran, which has stood up like Horatius to thwart an invader at the bridge. In this way, Iran snapped shut the vital economic artery to stall Donald Trump’s Exceptionalist-Zionist war. And the Quad, led by the same US, would take on China, a China which is not known to harbour any desire to interdict or be interdicted on any trade route, land, sea or air. A Quad-like situation is likely to have created the kindergarten expression: ‘And the dish ran away with the spoon.’ The irony doesn’t end with Hormuz. Donald Trump had only recently enjoyed the spectacular hospitality of Xi Jinping, an exclusively Chinese fare of lavish opulence masking, under the velvet gloves, a hardball reserved for the most unyielding of rivals. And so, Trump craves China’s help instead as never before in crucial arenas of trade and politics. And Rubio, the leader of the Quad discussants in Delhi, knows only too well how his president has emasculated the American project to contain Beijing. It’s in a way sad for Jaishankar — sad too that he must keep up the appearance of representing a sovereign and upright India. He told Rubio at a press meet that just as it was America’s right to imagine an America-first future, India too followed the policy of India-first. Really? Hard to believe. After being treated as a yo-yo by Trump? It’s for this that India has kept its distance from Iran to the point of being callous about Iran’s searing human tragedies. And it embraces Israel, whose future as an oversold democratic state looks bleak. Since India cannot respond to China the way it does to South Asian irritants, it answers the description of a short-sighted bully. Japan in the Quad remains Beijing’s biggest trade partner, with China critically importing more than it sells. Bilateral ties have hit turbulence, but a safe landing is a given. Australia sees China as the largest trading partner, but also fears being singed by the pyromaniac ally in the basement. The Quad, as they say, is dead in the water, while the pivot to the east is in disarray. Besides, neither America nor Israel proved to be worthy defence partners for anyone, least of all their Gulf clients, given their humiliating battle with a militarily and diplomatically rejuvenated Iran. This is another way of saying it’s perhaps time to see a reset of attitudes and relationships right across the world, and India is no exception. There’s a lot to salvage in the neighbourhood, including its sullied reputation as a democracy. Start with China and Pakistan. I believe that a call by the RSS general secretary Dattatreya Hosabale for India to resume diplomatic ties and people-to-people contacts and to revive trade with Pakistan may be absurd and sensible in equal measure. It’s absurd that the advice has come from an avowedly Muslim-hating and Pakistan-baiting organisation. But since the RSS is taking a stand for peace, being presumably aware of which side the bread is buttered and knowing that its blind pro-Americanism has become an investment of diminishing returns, it goes without saying that it would be brilliant if peace could return to South Asia. It’s been 10 years since India blocked the Saarc summit that was due to be held in Islamabad in 2016. In these years, anti-India sentiment has grown in the neighbourhood, and it has nothing to do with India being a predominantly Hindu country with Muslim allergens in the vicinity. How would it explain its unpopularity in a resurgent Hindu Nepal and utterly cordial relations with the narrow-minded Muslim rulers in Afghanistan? Recently, Chinese officials let it be known publicly that they had helped Pakistan in responding robustly to India’s Operation Sindoor. Shouldn’t visa restrictions be applied to China and bilateral relations put in a deep freeze? China, after all, helped Pakistan against India. However, since India cannot respond to China the way it does to South Asian irritants, it answers the description of a short-sighted bully. Some more proof, if any is needed. “We have received a directive that there cannot be China-bashing,” movie producer Himalay Dassani says, explaining why he shelved his war film on the 2020 Galwan stand-off with China. “If we are not going to get clearance from the defence ministry, there will be no point in telling the story of the Galwan battle as we can’t show the correct angle. If the fight and the reasons behind the clash are non-existent, what is the use of making a movie on it?” The absurdity goes to the other extreme when ham-handed movies with hateful messaging against Pakistan are granted official patronage. Lewis Carroll, the undisputed master of literary nonsense, has a famous absurdist saying in the White Queen’s declaration to Alice: “Why, sometimes I’ve believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast.” The writer is Dawn’s correspondent in Delhi. jawednaqvi@gmail.com Published in Dawn, May 26th, 2026
