Bill Wyman and the safer smoke ...
Date: February 20, 2008 17:18
Former Rolling Stone Bill Wyman is one of the celebrity guests on the
London press conference introducing the safer cigarette in the UK. This new
scientific breakthrough allows smokers to smoke a less harmful cigarette,
without combustion, tar or fire and no toxic smoke, therefore completely
eliminating passive smoking.
Wyman - presently touring with his Rhythm Kings - is one of the greatest
supporters of the safer cigarette. "It's a wonderful cigarette", Wyman claims,
who was recently nearly thrown from stage for lighting up during a performance.
Famous chef de cuisine Anthony Worall Thompson and singer Alexander O'Neill,
who both have met with similar problems in refusing to stop their smoking
habit, will accompany him.
The press conference will take place at G Casino at Piccadilly Circus in
London, Thursday February 21 from 1.00 p.m. A scientific panel with Prof. Dr
Lutz Lauterbacher (president of the European Board of Food, Drugs & Cosmetics)
Prof. H. Lerut (General Surgeon) and R. Cornelissen (Dental Surgeon) will
present the scientific results of the safer cigarette.
A Belgium company, in collaboration with European scientists and research
laboratories, has succeeded in producing a less harmful substance for a safer
cigarette, without combustion. It reduces the nicotine content, yet still
provides the smoker with the taste and aroma of cigarettes. It contains no
herbal ingredients, produces smoke that contains no toxic substances for the
smokers and their environment. The initiative could therefore have a major and
positive effect on public health worldwide.
UK's leading retailer of vitamins, minerals and herbal supplements, Holland
and Barrett, with stores in almost every major city and town, has announced
they willstart selling the safer cigarette within days. Also the safer
cigarette will be available in all Rank Gaming Casinos and bingo halls along
with chemists and health stores throughout the UK from February 25.
