Yet more propaganda? Or is it?

They claim in this ad' that every 15 fags mutates a cell in your body.

Do they say it's a bad/good/super mutation?

No, just that it mutates.

There are guesstimated to be 100 Trillion cells in the Human body.

If Jesus had started smoking on day one of his birth and was still alive today he would have mutated just over 730,000 cells because of the habit.
I know I'm not going to live as long so mine are going to be much, much less.

In fact a staggeringly low percentage of my cells are going to be affected by smoking.



Taken from here:-

Mutation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Not life's most reliable source, but gives us less reason to panic than the advert does.

Yes I and others smokers know it's bad for us, but is there a real need for something that is meant to cause panic amongst non thinkers as the above advert?
I haven't posted on here for a while but had to respond to Less with this one - my message to the government would be either ban cigarettes which you can't because of the enormous revenue it creates or shut up and let the smokers who have contributed to the economy just get on with it - please!
