The Chicago White Sox: MLB's Biggest Sleeping Giant
Chicago is a metropolis that breathes sports the way other cities breathe exhaust or ocean air. Walk through any neighborhood and you can feel the gravitational pull of its franchises. The Cubs are a national pastime unto themselves. The Bears carry a mythology older than most stadiums. The Bulls are still immortalized in murals and bar chatter, even decades after Jordan’s last dance. The Blackhawks have a history that traces back to the Original Six, cemented in grit, tradition, and a fan culture all their own.

This landmark legislation applies to both residents and international visitors, creating significant implications for travelers. Critically for the vaping community, this new rule complements the nation's existing and absolute ban on all e-cigarettes and vaping products, making the Maldives a zero-tolerance zone for both smoking and vaping for a growing portion of the population.
