THIS STORY on Spiked effectively analyses the recent news that Smoker parents are child abusers and finds it full of nonsense based on the real actual evidence of child's deaths from illnesses.
The author of the article also calls into question the sanity of the "leading doctor" who put this libellous information based on nothing but propaganda into the public domain.
Personally, I think each and every one of us smoker parents and grand parents should sue that monumental dickhead Douglas Banantyne who followed up on that announcement with "smoking in cars with children present is child abuse FACT" . Clearly it is not and the scientific and statistical evidence disputes it.
Once that evidence is collected and collated, and the right lawyer sought to handle the case, then the likes of Mr Banantyne may well be forced to wash out his mouth with soap before uttering such libellous profanities in future.
