BARBECUES should carry health warnings for releasing the same amount of toxic smoke as 220,000 cigarettes, it was claimed yesterday.
Prof Desmond Hammerton, a retired biology professor from Callander, near Stirling, said crowding round a barbecue throughout summer could have an effect “over 10 or 20 years”.
French campaigners found the level of dangerous dioxins was created by a two-hour barbecue burning 2kgs of charcoal.
Air around it could hold seven times more dioxins than allowed for incinerator chimneys.

In the UK, cigarettes are known as "fags" for short.
To: bedolido
It's an English title. They call cigarettes "fags", while in America that's what we call cigarette protestors.

Yeah, the other fags would never be termed a health risk.
To: Eurotwit
