Smokles is running a competition to predict the next absurd claim to be made in an anti-tobacco journal. Can you think of anything more ludicrous than third-hand smoke or heart attack miracles? If so, get yourself over there. Don't be afraid of letting your imagination run wild. Remember, this is tobacco control. No idea is too insane.
My suggestions:
Toxins from cigarettes can be transmitted down phone lines?
Smokers and non-smokers should be buried in separate sections of grave-yards?
Smoking bans lead to drop in rate of sexually transmitted diseases?
The sight of people smoking triggers lung cancer in ex-smokers?
Using the word 'cigarette' should be classified as tobacco advertising?
Err, your fifth one was I think proposed by the scottish parliament recently (something to do with the shop signs IIRC).
