Good move. Smoking is not a sin but its the easiest (bad) habit to be addicted to.

He is not forcing people to stop smoking. He is discouraging smoking by not selling it.

What is your definition of CONVERSION?

con·ver·sion
kənˈvərZHən
noun
the act or an instance of converting or the process of being converted.



The pope is dealing with one of the processes of conversion!

Pope Francis has outlawed the sale of cigarettes at the Vatican in a bid to lead by example on healthy living. “The Holy Father has decided that the Vatican will cease to sell cigarettes to employees as of 2018,” the Vatican said in a statement on Thursday.

The reason is very simple: the Holy See cannot contribute to an activity that clearly damages the health of people,” it said, adding that smoking claims more than seven million lives every year, according to the World Health Organization. “Although the cigarettes sold to employees and pensioners in the Vatican at a reduced price are a source of revenue for the Holy See, no profit can be legitimate if it puts lives at risk,” it added. Francis, who has only one lung, does not smoke. He has let the locals keep their other guilty pleasure, tax-free alcohol. The cigarettes and booze are sold in a luxury duty-free shop, opened in 2003 in what was once the Vatican’s magnificent railway station but is now home to everything from designer handbags and shoes to flat-screen televisions. Only those with a pass — Vatican employees or pensioners — can shop there, and many pick up goods, food and even fuel inside the city for Italian friends on the other side of the tiny state’s imposing walls.

Read the post very well, Ogbeni undecided undecided the ban has nothing to do with religion rather to help show an example for a healthy lifestyle. Smoking is dangerous, it is even on adverts made by cigarette companies. Banning Cigarette SALE will help to discourage smoking since it will become scarce thereby promoting a healthy lifestyle.

How do Nigerian apply for visa to travel to the Holy see or the Vatican?

Is it through the Italian embassy or the Vatican has an embassy in Nigeria?

Nigerians especially Catholicans who have travelled to the vatican can contribute the procedure for a vatican visa.

Thanks

Sale of cigarettes has been banned, not smoking.

HumbleGee:

You allow its sale, but convert them not to buy it?

Welldone Pope

And leader that cares about his people.
Over here people smoke freely along the road and noone stops them
We practice democracy here, but the government still warns its citizens about the dangers of smoking, if it were banned people like you would still be the ones screaming.

That's less than the number of people that lives on my Street! If smoking was permitted there and my neighborhood mallam opens a cigarette stall there, Jesus will return before he can sell-off a carton of cigarettes.
Had that banned on sales of cigarette announced in my area my own neighbourhood pastor would have been everywhere now, calling it islamization agenda. I am looking forward to hear the Vatican banning intoxicating products or alcoholic drinks because of the havoc they are causing in the world. And I do hope my neighbour will not declare the vatican a shariah state. May God gives my neighbour wisdom to understand.

Nigeria is not Vatican city. Unlike the Vatican city with just one religion and the government policies influenced by this religion, Nigerian has more than one religion any unfavorable law influenced by any of the religions would always be seen as an agenda by the other adherents it does not favour.

Hope you will have wisdom to understand.
