Children smoke while walking with a music band in the village of Vale de Salgueiro, northern Portugal, during the local Kings' Feast Friday night, January 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. The local tradition dictates that children as young as five are permitted to smoke on the special occasion, despite the legal buying age for tobacco being 18 in Portugal. Every year the event, called the King's Feast, draws outrage and strong criticism from outsiders. But despite the annual backlash, parents have continued to honour the allegedly centuries-old tradition by purchasing packets of cigarettes for their kids. The practice is technically legal in the country as nothing in the law prohibits parents giving children cigarettes and authorities do not intervene to stop them. (Photo by Armando Franca/AP Photo)
