METROPOLITAN SMOKERS ARE A FORlorn lot these days. As more cities ban cigarettes in public places, smokers are altering every daily habit but the one they most crave. They take lunch at the restaurant bar because only there can they enjoy a quick stick of nicotine for dessert. They dash from their seats at the football stadium to the rest-room, missing the play of the day for the puff of the moment. Shivering in shirtsleeves outside their office complexes, they increase the risk that they will succumb not to emphysema but to chilblains...

"I will never forget what he looked like when he joined us in Sarajevo," says Hadzimehmedovic.

A picture of Teer -- his face troubled by a forlorn and vulnerable look -- appeared on the cover of an issue of TIME dealing with the effects of war on children around the world. Teer still has that same lost expression today, but added to it is a tinge of fear. Last February he was abducted from in front of his home, held blindfolded for 24 hours and then severely beaten. His abductors thrust Teer's legs through the pickets of a wrought...
