Had to laugh at this one on the news this morning. You could tell that they were desperate to say "counterfeit cigarettes could be harmful to your health", but then had to think... oh, wait, hang on a minute... erm... well, let's just say that they might be even more harmful to your health than they might have otherwise been

Look at it this way.... if people want to pay to introduce dangerous chemicals into their body then these Chinese cigarettes are real value for money! Extra tar, extra nicotine and you even get lead and arsenic thrown in for free!

From the BBC "
Further research by an independent laboratory showed counterfeit cigarettes seized by Customs also contained 160% more tar, 80% more nicotine and 133% more carbon monoxide than genuine cigarettes. "
So the lucky b*stards who buy the illegal/good **** get more tar, more nicotine and more carbon monoxide than those buying government sanctioned ciggies. Sounds like an ******* bargain.
