Polonium Kills

I love this kind of boob (as reported by BBC News):

Two adverts warning cigarette smoke contains the radioactive substance that killed Russian spy Alexander Litvinenko has been pulled from a health campaign.
The Department of Health said it was "inappropriate" to show the ad, which shows cigarettes contain polonium 210.

I would imagine that by pulling the plug the DoH has given this far more exposure than it may have gotten from a few beer mats and late-night TV ads.

Come on, it's science, so what do you expect?

That's mad - you can't warn people that something's toxic if someone's just died from it? It's like saying it was inappropriate to air anti-smoking ads just after Roy Castle died.
