Nani anajivunia kuwa Mtanzania? I guess some Tanzanians do. With president Magufuli's government banning things left, right and centre, of course there are those who are getting really offended. Especially with the latest ban!

Reports have it that Tanzanian Prime Minister Kassim Majaliwa has banned shisha smoking in that country. He has followed up that ban with a request to the clergy, parents and all leaders to fight against dealers and smokers of the molasses-based tobacco concoction smoked in a water pipe known as hookah.

The PM's order came as Dar es Salaam Regional Commissioner Paul Makonda yesterday declared war against dealers of tobacco-laced shisha in the country's business capital. He insisted that all the joints that sell shisha should be closed by next Monday.

Majaliwa says that the consumption of shisha resulted into temptation to indulge in all sorts of vices and eroding morals among the youth.
