False advertising

UK cigarette packs carry the statement "Smoking Kills". This was ordered to be placed by the Department of Health despite the fact that they cannot prove it to be true. Under UK law this is false advertising and is therefore a chargable offence.

Thanks to the British government for the false advertising (to suicidal maniacs) now required to be boldly printed on cigarette packages.

@HairyChestnuts The video has lots of advertising for FORCES, which is now going under from what I hear. Too bad.

You could not use them for birth control either, even though some packs say causes impotance and low sperm count! Baby boom after the war, when they had the highest amount of people smoking LOL. Now they cannot afford a decent pension for the baby boomers.

Thank you for raising that point DTB, stay well and pi** them off.

Warning to everyone watching! This video can seriously damage your health! I've just fallen off of ma chair laughing and broke two of ma ribs, and my wife has suffered a slipped disc trying to lift me off the damn floor! Would have been safer for both of us if we'd just sat in the pub with a roomful of fellow smokers all day. Alas that is not possible because of the UK's draconian smoking laws. Now We've got more chance of catching pneumonia standing outside in the British inclement weather.
