Lie:
They are not marketed this way. It is illegal for them to do so in the US. Why would they lie about it?
And now the punch line:
The study included 8 people who had never smoked and 24 smokers, 11 with normal lung function and 13 people with either chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) or asthma.
Cmon man, a study where there are 32 subjects? You really expect me to take that seriously? There is no control group, no blind group, this is something a group of middle school students might come up with. No link in the article to the study, nor data.
This is not even journalism. Actually, its disgusting and disgraceful what this "writer" did here. No wonder i have never heard of his publication.
