Now that’s what I call a health warning

February 2nd, 2010 · Posted by Skuds in Life · No Comments · Life

Did everybody see the story about the bloke in Indonesia who was smoking a cigarette when it exploded and blew six of his teeth out?

A couple of things to note:

  • He got compensation of £335 (plus medical expenses).  Doesn’t sound a lot for what must have been a pretty traumatic experience.
  • The brand he was smoking was called Clas Mild.  I hope Clas don’t do a full-strength – imagine what damage they would do!

Great quote from the manufacturers:

We do not put any strange materials in the cigarettes, so we think that this is a weird case. This is the first time for us.
