Russian leader demands no-smoking lawsLondon: A senior Russian leader has called for tough laws similar to the smoking ban to crack down on over-eating and ‘excessive’ sex. Liberal Democratic Party leader Vladimir Zhirinovsky has said banning smoking in public places doesn’t go far enough and laws should tackle obesity and sex too, the Daily Mail reported. Zhirinovsky— also the parliament’s deputy speaker— said eating restrictions are necessary as people are overfed and too fat. He said Russian people die twenty years earlier than the rest of the world because they eat and smoke excessively. ANI
Pizza shop owner offers discount to gun ownersNew York: A pizza shop owner in Virginia, US, who employs gun-carrying delivery drivers, has offered a 15% discount on their food bills to customers owning firearms. All Around Pizza owner Jay Laze said he got the idea from a similar incentive offered by a frozen yogurt store in Utah, and added the discount is a way to show his support for the Second Amendment in the US Constitution. Laze, who was aiming to make his business a target for sharp shooters, said any customer would have to show their weapon or permit and then can receive the discount.Ani
