Qat-chewer.
Chewing Qat is almost the national activity of Yemen. Social customs revolve around the sharing of the drug bought fresh daily. Unfortunately it is highly addictive and has a number of health conseqences (one of which is mouth cancer from pesticides), as well as economic and environmental consequences. It has taken over the growing of coffee, sorgho and other crops, and uses up to 70% of Yemen’s precious water supply.

Many of these images are from old files, their sources long-forgotten. I will give sources as best I can. I apologize for inadvertent blunders.
