Yeah, but how will it be enforced?

Saudi men will do as they please. Do you think the TCN security guards will dare bother them?


You are correct sir!

Probably more about actually following Islam, I'm Muslim and smoking is prohibited in Islam because you are destroying God's creation.

Quran 2:195


If it's anything like what the Bible says, it's probably heavily discouraged.

Hypocrisy should be banned in Saudi Arabia and all the rest of the countries on our tiny planet!

Doing that would mean I would be eating beans and tortillas, meat on a good day and drinking bad water.

Crap.

Is it possible on a military base... can you simply sneak out back?


50% of the teachers and the arabs smoke. Their will be smoking places there, believe me.

Plenty of smokers there, both Saudis and expats. As with everything there, what happens behind closed doors is unseen therefore doesn't happen.

In Ramadan people just used to pop up on the roof or go behind the bins (classy) to indulge their vice.
