No Tobacco Day

I have a question to the authorities. Since there is widespread sale of chewy tobacoo called 'Sweka' or 'Naswar', isn't it time they also have a "No Sweka Day" or "No Naswar Day" in addition to the so-called "No Tobacco Day' . That should be a great relief to the residents living in Al Wifak Street, near Dar Al Qutub, considering the amount of traffic jam and nuisance they cause due to their illegal sale. Apparently, it is the hottest selling street where all teenagers to adults, students to high-ranking officials come to buy them.

MM: This is why Rizks smokes those little home made cigarettes from India. He refuses to give money to western multi-nationals

Yes, but it only has three wheels.

Anyway, Today is No Tobacco Day, so I'm "armed" with nicotine patches

A car is a road vehicle, typically with four wheels, powered by an internal combustion engine and able to carry a small number of people. Does Rizks Tuk-Tuk have these features? Then, yes it counts as a car.
