Is Yemen Chewing Itself to Death?

I meant I'ts a waste of money, how many men waste the family's cayr on khat?

Well, it's their imperative. Personal responsibility. As long as the family's needs are accounted for, expenditure on khat is no problem.

There's no point trying to reason with chewers, its obvious what they're doing to their health and quality of life but they're in denial

Peer-reviewed studies have alluded to this, but every country where this lack of productivity was apparent had a non-existent private sector while the public sector was inefficient.

It's amazing how chewing qat amongst females is tolerated amongst yemenis, my friend was telling me how she and her fellow yemenis would get together and chew in one of their houses. These girls reside in the U.K and were about 17-18 at the time.

Sadly yes. Just like Somalia chewed itself up.. Yemen now is at bloody war with zeyedi qabiil. I guess its all start with khat. I guess the immigrant somali in yemen influenced them.

Khat - Most pointless drug ever, you hardly even get high, it's just the equivalent to 2 strong cups of coffee.
