what a cheap, dirty trick...
I knew it !!!
I fucking well knew it !!!
That hideous anti-smoking advertisement showing the young woman with mouth cancer is a fake; the bastards used special effects, make-up and a prosthetic mouth to create a picture of smoking gone bad.
Now, I’m certainly not going to argue a case in favour of cigarettes; they are disgusting and I realise that with each one I smoke I take liberties with my health. I wish they WERE good for me. If someone could show that smoking cigarettes was actually healthy for me, that the more I smoked the healthier I would get, I would happily puff my way through 300 a day.
That’s how much I enjoy the habit.
Medical fantasy aside however, I’m acutely aware of the seductively dangerous game of Russian roulette I play each time I light up; that’s my choice.
It’s also a choice many of my friends have made over the years, though a significant number have renounced their filthy ways for various reasons.
My point ??
My point is that in the 25 years I’ve been at it, neither I nor anyone I know has ever seen a smoker who has one of those revolting smiles riddled with mouth cancer. Same goes for the gangrenous limbs; I bet those images are actually frostbite victims recently dragged into Everest base camp ??
I’m sure there are cases out there somewhere; awful cases in which the side-effects of cigarette smoking are taken to their most nauseating conclusion…but I still haven’t seen one myself.
Have you…

Precisely, Oh Desert Dipstick...
I'm sure these cases exist, it's just that I've never seen one and I've been round smokers all my life.
Hey Byrnes...WTF have you been...
wow its a fake? great doctoring. My grandma had bronchitis and continued to smoke. She died 2 weeks later.
Thats about as close as I've got to real stories.
I'll have a think about it though and get back to you.
the only side effect i get from smoking is the added 'coolness' effect. id be such a loser if i didnt smoke.
Nothing cooler than smoking a ciggie on the Stealth Vespa at 80kph.
And you have to be some kind of hero not to flinch when the ember flies off and goes straight down your shirt-front...
No need for wax, Pocahontas !!!
I'm totally hairless after the recent lasering.
You can't reach 80kph on a Vespa with stubble...
What dentures ??
I have a set of teeth painted on my visor, Two Dogs.
Hey, Byrnes...have you and Flipper been manacled together in the eyes of God yet...
Mary Mother of God. The only thing more terrifying than the thought of ash down fingers' decoletage is the thought of fingers running a dating agency.
Oh, and Rob, I hear 1000cc's of arsenic is a great pick-me-up.
Which would also be an apt name for fingers' dating service...
At uni I remember an experiment conducted by the science department.
They took 12 live worms, placed half of them in a glass of distilled water and half in a glass of water through which an entire carton of ciggies had been filtered.
The worms in the distilled water lived for a week, however the worms in the ciggie-water died an agonising death within minutes.
Conclusion: If you smoke, you'll never get worms...
