If the mission was to catch our attention, it worked.
A coalition of anti-smoking groups Thursday distributed a press release about their fight to "protect" Minnesota's anti-smoking law and increase taxes on tobacco products. Attached to the release? A Marlboro cigarette and what appears to be a small cigar.
The person who distributed the release noted the smokables were poked with holes, theoretically making them non-smokeable. In practice, however, any smoker -- or former smoker -- knows cigarettes' holes can easily be plugged.
So now we've got 'em. But we won't smoke 'em.
