The Pentagon says it won't ban smoking by troops in war zones despite a recent study recommending a tobacco-free military.
Pentagon press secretary Geoff Morrell says troops already are under enough stress and making enough sacrifices from fighting the two wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. He says Defense Secretary Robert Gates will look at the study to see what other things can be done to move toward a goal of a tobacco-free force.
Spc. Charles Rodriquez said in an interview outside Fort Campbell, Ky., that during his last deployment to Iraq, he found a lot of time to smoke while troops were patrolling or just hanging around the base. And he says cigarettes are cheap in Iraq as well. |
