Too bad this is in the U.K. only. The similar U.S. ads are pathetic, but I'm sure will never be called to task.

According to Rush, who got a copy of the World Health Organization report on second hand smoke, there hasn't been one person harmed by second hand smoke anywhere (at the time, they had been searching for the elusive "victim" for 7 years). According to the report, second hand smoke did help asma patients, though.
The report wasn't widely publicized because the results were politically incorrect. The press refused to report on it. It was just quietly buried and conveniently forgotten.

Often, those who are blatantly outspoken about the dangers of second hand smoke from tobacco are the same people who support the politically correct second hand smoke from marijuana.

Nanny State Ping.........

It would be great if something like this could be done in the US, but it seems that the so-called media watchdog groups, and even th regulatory agencies, are on the bandwagon and blithely let the anti-smoker lies pass for truth.

I wouldn't be so pessimistic.
The ads here in California are just as hyperbolic and fraudulent.
I wonder if there is any way, legally, to force the U.N World Health Organization to release the most massive, longest and most thorough study of second hand smoke, the basis for the laws sprouting like weeds worldwide.

Discussion of that study, as opposed to the fraudulent compilations of the carefully-selected data from hundreds of other studies used as the basis for legislation.

A careful review of all the data in any competent court will prove that the "studies" being used are simply a compilation of a very few incompetent reports repeated endlessly.

Dear Overeaters,

You're next in line.

Oh, every darn time I see one of those “The Truth” or “InfectTruth” ads, I just want to scream — and I am not even a smoker. They’re just annoying beyond belief.

The similar U.S. ads are pathetic...

The ads here in California are just as hyperbolic and fraudulent.

Especially the ones which tried to link cigarette smoking with...sexual impotence.But then they remembered the proverbial "I had an argument with my wife,biddabip,biddabop,biddaboop,and we're smoking a cigarette."
