World Health experts are reporting that Fascians have the highest per capita consumption of pipe tobacco in the world.

It is estimated that 90% of Fascians 14 and older smoke pipe tobacco at least 8 times daily. Fascians produce such a large amount of tobacco because 20,000 of their 300,000 commercial farmers have listed their primary crop as tobacco. Another great contributing factor to the widespread smoking in Fascia is that tobacco laws are totally non-existent.

In Rhodes City, wherever one goes the sweet aroma of Fascian tobacco is not far away. Fascians however have a significantly higher risk of cancer and other health problems. Medical scientists in Fascia are currently researching what they call "Lung sweeping". The idea is that several times a year people could have their lungs cleaned of any and all pollutants.

Fascians anxiously await such medical developments because they are a people who love the pipe.

Most Fascians can afford it. But the government provides / will provide care to the poor.
