'Safe cigarette' claimed to cut cancer by 90%

These new cigarettes could be more like jumping from the 15th floor instead of the 20th: theoretically the risk is less but you still die.†™ ¢‚¬„¢¢‚¬Å¡‚¢†™‚¢‚¢¢¢‚¬Å¡‚¬¦‚¡¢‚¬Å¡‚¬?

Um, if it cuts it 90%, that means he should have said:

†™ ¢‚¬„¢¢‚¬Å¡‚¢†™‚¢‚¢¢¢‚¬Å¡‚¬¦‚¡¢‚¬Å¡‚¬†™¢¢¬‚¦‚¢¢¢‚¬Å¡‚¬¦¢‚¬Å“Anything involving inhaling smoke is unsafe. These new cigarettes could be more like jumping from the 2nd floor instead of the 20th: theoretically the risk is less but you probably will not die.†™ ¢‚¬„¢¢‚¬Å¡‚¢†™‚¢‚¢¢¢‚¬Å¡‚¬¦‚¡¢‚¬Å¡‚¬?

/still agree with first sentence of revised statement. cancer is not the only risk.

QUOTE(Deborah Arnott)†™ ¢‚¬„¢¢‚¬Å¡‚¢†™‚¢‚¢¢¢‚¬Å¡‚¬¦‚¡¢‚¬Å¡‚¬†™¢¢¬‚¦‚¢¢¢‚¬Å¡‚¬¦¢‚¬Å“Cigarette smoke contains about 4,000 different chemicals, many of which are toxic. These filters and tobaccos can make no more than a marginal difference.†™ ¢‚¬„¢¢‚¬Å¡‚¢†™‚¢‚¢¢¢‚¬Å¡‚¬¦‚¡¢‚¬Å¡‚¬?

On top of that:

Despite this history, BAT executives talk privately of †™ ¢‚¬„¢¢‚¬Å¡‚¢†™‚¢‚¢¢¢‚¬Å¡‚¬¦‚¡¢‚¬Å¡‚¬†™¢¢¬‚¦‚¢¢¢‚¬Å¡‚¬¦¢‚¬Å“risk free†™ ¢‚¬„¢¢‚¬Å¡‚¢†™‚¢‚¢¢¢‚¬Å¡‚¬¦‚¡¢‚¬Å¡‚¬? or low-risk cigarettes and suggest they might cut the chance of disease by as much as 90%.

How 'macho' can you feel when is "risk free"?
I can't imagine the Malboro man travelling in a electric european car with airbags with a PeTA bumper sticker!
