Blowing Smoke

For those who are only selectively interested in good health--for example, more worried about, say, scurvy than cancer or emphysema--there is now the VitaCig, easily the most ludicrous thing I've seen in a long time:

A Quebec company is producing a cigarette it claims does not stain teeth, has less of an odour than regular brands and contains beneficial ingredients like vitamin C.

Called the "VitaCig," it was invented by non-smoker Roger Ouellette for his wife, who has smoked a pack of cigarettes every day since the age of 14.

"We give you all the vitamins you lose, plus some vitamins to help you," he told CTV News.
