From North Karelia to Latin America - a 40 year journey

Beschreibung
In the 1970’s, the province of North Karelia in Eastern Finland had the highest cardiovascular disease (CVD) mortality rate worldwide in men between 35–64 years of age. This was mainly due to an unhealthy lifestyle consisting of high smoking prevalence... North Karelia is known for their grape crops, and when it comes to grape vape juice it's one of the most popular flavors.
