Topic: Canadian Driver News Story on Cellphone use while driving - some sense at last

[Ex-airbalancer]

Those that deny that the use of cell phones when driving is not detracting from the driving remind me of those who used to deny that cigarette smoking caused cancer. That was a popular trend in the '50s when Camel cigs even had an advert claiming that the majority of MEDICAL DOCTORS preferred to smoke Camels over other brands.

Same twisted logic IMO. 

But my grandfather smoked until he was 90, deck a day man
Camels always smells bad

We did not get that Ad in the UK but I have seen it.  IIRC it actually said

 the majority of MEDICAL DOCTORS who smoke preferred to smoke Camels over other brands.

Those two little words probably saved many a lawsuit even in the less ligitious '50s.

As AirB says above. Camels always smell bad. The 4 legged ones smell far worse than the tobacco ones.
