Despite the best efforts of North Korea's authorities to address the nation's serious tobacco addiction, Kim Jong Un was pictured last week smoking while inspecting a newly built hospital built in Pyongyang.

Walking through newly built operation rooms, The Pyongyang Times reported that Kim Jong Un "asked questions in detail to see [that] they were thoroughly sterilized and dust-free". Seemingly underscoring his desire for maximum hygiene, he told reporters that hospitals should be "neat and splendid".
