"The Swedish organization A Non Smoking Generation covered Stockholm in posters claiming that smoking stunts penis growth and that cigarette filters are filled with mouse excrements, along with other lies aimed at getting kids to stop smoking," Agence France-Presse reports:
"We wanted to raise awareness about how the tobacco industry always promotes its products--through lies," head of the organization Anne-Therese Enarsson told AFP.
"Our lies are so exaggerated that we hope they will make people stop and think, and then come to our website to find the truth," she added.
One wonders if it's occurred to ANSG that their lies will make youngsters less likely to believe them when they do tell the truth.
puff list ping!
You usually don't increase your credibility by lying. But Europe is upside-down land. Criminals are coddled while society is blamed for crimes, the successful are punished while the lazy are rewarded, and terrorists are excused while their American victims are condemned. Hmm. Kinda reminds me of what liberals would do to America if they had the chance.
LOL "It looks like a penis, only smaller."
Check out our own ONDCP: Marijuana is now super strong and "may pose a greater threat than cocaine or even heroin."

I just remembered the old wives' tale to keep kids from smoking - it stunts your growth......I'm 5'10" and the shrimp of my family......if smoking stunts growth, can you imagine how tall I would be if I hadn't started smoking.
ROFLMAOPIMP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
FOFLMAO!!!!!!
I mean about those idiots saying it stunts penis growth. Have you ever heard anything like this? They sure come up with the rediculous stuff.
Yep! My parents told ME that, too. It will stunt my growth. It didn't. :)
Smoked for 30 years.............assuming he started as an adult makes you WAY to old for that nonsense!!!!!!!!! Just ask your kids!
Good thing I smoke then, or I would have killed Dufarge years ago.
Go ahead, ask her about Killer...
Hey, if they can lie, I can at least exaggerate.
