That IS a good story! Wish more reporters would have their smoking friends try it...
It doesn't look like a real news site to me, in fact my "scam" radar is pinging. Seems like one big ad for that "Green Puffer". I wouldn't trust it, especially with the "FREE TRIAL" b.s.
ETA: There is no Channel 5 WBC - Louisiana. I wonder if the site you saw pinged your IP addy and kicked back your own state as well? Plus, at the top of the page it says "Advertorial".

Ah, yeah, I just noticed the menu at the top is just an image! haha
Well, it looks quite realistic. But when you point to any of the links at the top of the page such as "Gossip", you see that it links back to the page you are on, and when you click, you don't go to another page.
Another clue is the fact that when you go to leave, there is a pop up ad urging you to take advantage of their free trial today.
Clue #3: If you scroll way down to the bottom of the page and read the fine print under "Terms and Conditions" you find out that you are signing up to have your credit card billed monthly and that you will be billed for the cost of the kit if you cancel the monthly service. You can't return the kit past 30 days. And it will probably be at least 2 months before you realized that you signed up for a monthly charge.
