The Rules

Posts must be:

  1. Links to news stories from...
  2. ...credible sources, with...
  3. ...their original headlines, that...
  4. ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Please also avoid duplicates.

Thousands of cigarettes doesn't seem that many. I've been a smoker for 10 years and I easily smoked thousands. They need a pack a day smoker for like 25 years plus.
