I’ve been a smoker since the days when some doctors still smoked openly and kept ashtray’s not just in their consulting rooms but in the reception, too. I have known of the dangers carried in the little white sticks pretty much all my life. But more fool me, I continue to smoke, having long ago given in to my addiction and accepted it for what it is. I even wrote a tongue-in-cheek piece elsewhere many years ago about smoker’s rights. This is why I was recently floored by a public relations campaign that arrived, unbidden, in my inbox, telling the world that while of course smoking is bad for you, some tobacco products were less so.
