No more Benson and Hedges Extra Mild - Now it's Benson and Hedges "Smooth"

Unfortunately I smoke.... well, I guess it's not that unfortunate, as it is my choice. I have been smoking B&H Extra Mild for years. The name is about to be changed to "Smooth" because cigarette companies are no longer allowed to use words like mild, light etc. because it has been argued that these names imply that they are not bad for you.
If someone was to be stupid enough to believe that because a packet of cigarettes says "Smooth" instead of "Mild" the cigarettes are worse for them, then their stupidity is much more of a threat to their health than their smoking.
