North Korea launches anti-smoking website

North Korea has launched an anti-smoking website on its domestic-only internet network, a state-media outlet reported on Sunday, even though leader Kim Jong-un was yet to ditch the habit. An anti-smoking research centre launced the "Anti-smoking 1.0" site on the country's computer network system last month to provide the public with information about quitting smoking, Yonhap News Agency quoted the North Korean outlet, Meari as saying. The website is not accessible from outside as the North's strictly controlled computer network, Kwangmyongsong, is disconnected from the global internet to prevent people from accessing outside information.Meari said that providing science-based information is key to the anti-smoking campaign.
