Re: the Canadian “smoking in movies” story … if they keep telling us that 50% of smokers will “die from their habit” (or is it more now? Hard to know), then how can they estimate that of the 92,000 who have taken up smoking because they saw it in a film, that only 29,000 will die because of it? Surely the figure should be more in the region of 46,000. Have the laws of mathematics changed? Or has tobacco suddenly become less “deadly” than it used to be? Now that would be a story I'd like to see!
I wish these zealots would make their bloody minds up!
