Portugal Epiphany Smoking Children

Ines, 8 years old, reacts as her father Frederico hands her her first cigarette, in the village of Vale de Salgueiro, northern Portugal, during the local Kings’ Feast Friday, Jan. 5, 2018. The village’s Epiphany celebrations, called Kings’ Feast, feature a tradition that each year causes an outcry among outsiders: parents encourage their children, some as young as 5, to smoke cigarettes. Parents buy the packs of cigarettes for their children. Locals say the practice is centuries-old, but nobody is sure what it symbolizes nor why the children are incited to smoke.
