Daylia - absolutely NOT. I am many things, but I'm not a liar! They were on sale in the UK a number of years ago. There was a very heavy TV campaign against them (Esther Rantzen I think) as they are so highly carcinogenic, she had plenty of horrific photos and video footage of the damage and disease they caused and I believe they were banned here (never see them nowadays anyway). I just introduced my experience of the Swedes here to illustrate the skewed thinking that your post about 'smoking's good for you' seemed to be based on.

Nowt personal lass, I recognise your right to enjoy smoking and I don't suggest it makes you a second-class citizen the way some people around here do - I just don't believe it's a sensible pastime, and it's certainly bad for anyone within a 5-metre radius of any smoker. Not to mention the vast number of hospital beds taken up by sufferers of self-inflicted smoking-related illnesses which could otherwise be put to more beneficial use.
